What one do you have usually??

They all seem the same no matter what I have - minimal variation of the same thing.

fatscoobyfella

No way...Have a chicken tikka nowabi..Or Jalfreizi..both good
If ya **** aint upto it..Dupiaza or Pasanda.

Any of the above with Mushroom pilau and a garlic nan

All preceded of course with either Reshmi kebab or Chicken chat starter

TheBigMan

Amazing how much different curry houses vary.

aKorai in one is ok, in another it blows ya brains out!!!

fatscoobyfella

Korai is nice,but a little dry for me..like plenty of sauce personally.
Garlic butter chicken is good as well..

Jesus you made me hungry!!

Another vote for Jalfrezi here.

or Green murgh mosalla, looks exactly the same on the way out as on the way in

chaos.

Jalfrezi rocks, Its well nice.

Get the chicken option.

With nan bread.

Jerome

Chicken Shashlik in the UK.

Tandoori Chicken in Canada (because they don't do Shashlik, it seems).

popeye

Wish I could get a good Balti in Sydney.

NotoriousREV

I either have Rogan Josh, Jalfrezi, Balti or occasionally a Madras. My local takeaway will do you any type of curry as hot or as mild as you like. I always have chicken as a "Meat Madras" doesn't sound quite as appealing

Starter should always be Onion Bhajis

druddle

Lamb Pathia, motor paneer and a keema nan. Yummy.

If you stand behind me today you may catch the after affect of this little lot last night.......

Dhansak - Chicken (Murgh) is a favorite for me!

Will go for a butter chicken if feeling like something sweet or mild.

Never been into really hot curries, have been known to have a Madras from time to time but this does depend on the restraunt/takeaway and how hot they do them.

I really like Thai food as well

There is a fantastic Indian in Sydney (if its still there...) If I remember correctly, take the train to North Sydney station, walk down the hill away from the station towards the Bay turn right and its on your left in a residential street.

It feels like your going into someones house but the back of the house is opened up and overlooks the bay - the food was great and too!

I *think* it might be this one...but it was in 96 when I studied there

None of these dishes sound very British to me.

It's a bit of a struggle to get a good Indian curry in Japan, either they are "exotic" restuarants and you pay over 30 quid for a meal with a couple of beers (but the food tends to be pretty authentic and good selection) or you make do with a cheap place, little selection and the taste altered to suit the Japanes palette. The Japanese don't have much liking for spicy food so you always have to ask them to spice it up which in the cheaper places usually means they just add more curry powder

Also the "pilau" or saffron rice tends to be pants because the Japanese government have import restrictions on foreign grown rice. The Japansese stuff just doesn't make good "pilau", too sticky and wet

But they do serve a great cup of chai here! I've never had it in a restaurant in the UK, but it tastes great. It's tea with spices, sugar and hot milk

So I would usually go for something like:-

prawn puri
chilli chicken (or chicken tikka jalfrezi), side dish (mushroom bhaji, sag aloo, bindi bhaji, sag paneer etc)
pilau rice (if someone will share, anyone... anyone ?)
plain nan

...and popadoms and mixed pickles while waiting

Brit_in_Japan

...and your point is ?

Curry is Britain's favourite dish and a reminder that immigration has some benefits.

I'd normally go for:

Poppadoms & chutneys whilst browsing the menu
Prawn puri to start with
Chicken Tikka Bhuna, Qandari Chicken (thick rich sauce, slightly hotter than medium) or Chicken Achari (great if you like lots of tase - this one uses lots of pickles & chutneys for flavouring - think of it as a milder but more flavoursome version of lime pickle!)
Pilau rice (whole portion to myself)
Shared naan of some sort (plain/gralic/peshwari)

Hungry now

Yet another Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi for me! Served in the balti-style dish, not on the plate. Mopped up with plain Naan. Maybe half a portion of rice if I'm hungry.

Don't usually have a starter, but plenty of poppadoms, with lashings of mango chutney and lime pickle...

Of course its gotta be washed down with plenty of Cobra.



Favourite restuarant? Cuisine East in Stourbridge.

PS I love the sound of a 'Bindi Gust' @ Bombay Mix in Brum

Read the 'Guantanamo Britons' post and you'll see the point I'm making.........

Brendan Hughes

Methi Gosht for me..... Lamb with fresh fenugreek leaf. Very distinctive.

JackClark

Jalfrezi here as well. Here was I thinking it was an 'exotic' choice.

I find that Jalfrezi's aren't hot enough.

I don't like the brown muck, like madras and vindaloo.

Is there a hot version a Jalfrezi? (Tomato & onion based sauce spiced up with chillis rather than powder)

GC8

Khan's Tandoori Special' for me..... Always more than you can eat too.
