Favourite Indian curry

[torqueofthedevil]

I love all the greasy, brown, sloppy curries! Tend to find the more 'upmarket' places do a dryer curry (tend to find curries down south are more dry too).

Favourites are:

Lamb bhuna
Lamb kharai
Chicken rogan josh

(Did you know rogan josh is basically a bhuna with a tomato sauce on top?)

Tried a weird lamb aschari made with fennel seeds - like a bhuna but with fennel flavour! Not a favourite but interesting

Lamb Sagwala is mine.

Most Indian restaurants have a basic curry gravy/sauce thing in a big pot, this is the base for all their currys so for Rogan Josh just bung some tomatoes in.

Chicken jalfrezi.

Have you noticed recently they are often not that hot.

Never heard of a sagwalla.

I know what u mean about sauce -
Can be a real let down - three of us went for a lamb bhuna, lama kharai and lamb balti -
Totally different descriptions but tasted very similar!

At a good curry house too

True, I'd had mild ones for years at my favourite places... Then had a proper one. Jeez, chillis...

Big disappointment for Mrs Doc (who likes hot curries) except one local place. You can always ask for extra chillis.

Goan kingfish curry... In Goa

[SpeedMattersNot]

Chicken Rogan Josh, or a chicken jalfrezi dependant on the restaurant.

[bridgdav]

Chicken Tikka Naga.

Hot naga spiced curry, slightly sour. A great alternative to some of the rather bland Madras gravy or Vindaloo spiced curries.

Achari anything for me.

I always have some hot lime pickle in the fridge to rev rubys up if they're a bit bland.

Oh yes, pickled lime and mango in a curry really hits the spot for me.

[Turn7]

lamb xacutti or dhansak or similar for please.....

[mikebradford]

chicken tikka starter
chicken tikka balti main
garlic nann
and im happy

[redtwin]

Karahi Gosht.

The best place I have had it makes up a massive batch in a stock pot and then fries up individual portions to order.

I was advised that the later you go, the better it tastes as the ingredients mellow in the big pot. It's probably nothing like a "proper" curry, but the steady stream of Asians (mostly mini cabbers) ordering suggests it is good even if not genuine.

Prawn dhansak
Or
Chicken sashlick
