Takeaway curry recommendations on what order.

[shadypines]

Firstly I'll explain that 99.9% of time me and DH make our own BUT we occasionally want a night off from cooking. We have a good Indian TA near us but I always play safe and order same thing (chicken korma). I prefer mild or mild/moderate heat and spice. Can anyone recommend a favourite curry I could be brave and try!? Thanks.

Chicken tamarind. It's slightly citrusy with tomatoes and onions.

Sorry no suggestions but I am following as I usually play it safe and order a korma or a tikka masala.

Hi @shadypines
Try paneer, it's really nice xx

Yes Paneer is nice as well it has cheese and potatoes in it.

Dansak is lovely

Dopiaza is lovely

Thanks everyone, that's really helpful. The annoying thing is I did order something different once and it was lovely (possibly a dopiaza or damask) but I didn't make a note of it.

Dansak even!

Dhansak is lovely but I have found different places make it to different strengths so worth checking if your local one classifies it as medium or hot. I also like a Chicken Balti or a Biryani.

Dopiaza has lots of onions
dansak is made with Lentils
I like chicken kashmiri curry but not everywhere does it - the one I get has pineapple in it

Not what you asked - but channah masala as a side is lovely, it's chickpeas in spices.

I tried some of a friends before and couldn't believe how nice it was, I would always get it if I were to get a curry now xx

Balti chicken and spinach is my go to every time, with a plain nan bread.

oooh just found the edit function, I had clumsy fingers and now can correct it. It has diverted my attention from the curry I NEED to have right now!

How about a butter chicken or a Bhuna? Both are quite mild usually

Agree that anything with spinach is really good imo.

Railway lamb is amazing. Hearty food - lamb, potatoes, spinach, tomato.

Really appreciate all these suggestions...got lots to try!

Butter chicken /chicken makhani
Salmon tikka
Saag aloo
Tarka Dahl
Aubergine (brinjal) bhaji (not the same as onion bhaji
Okra (bindi bhaji)
Tandoori roti or plain naan

I chose a chicken dansak, it was very tasty, bit heavy on the salt but lovely consistency. I will be having again plus working my way through more of your suggestions. Grazie!

Epic!

I had chicken tikka saag and peshawari naan last night- yummy!

Dhansak is my fave too. Although I’m also partial to a jalfrezi, a pathia and a vindaloo if I’m feeling brave. Best base gravy in the curry world imo!

Lamb pasanda.

Made with ground almonds in a rich sauce, quite creamy.

Fancurrytastic!
