What's your perfect ruby?

I'm going for one tonight and I'm thinking chicken tikka starter with the obligatory poppadoms + lime pickle.

Mains thinking a mutton vindaloo or mutton jalfrezi with lemon rice, side of tarka dal + a roti/chapati.

2-3 pints of Cobra or Kingfisher.

[Countdown]

Sister-in-Law's samosas (spicy meat/potato mix inside a buttery flaky pastry case)

Mrs C's Chicken Madras (Rich tomato & herb-based madras sauce with tender bite sized chicken)
Asda garlic & herb naan

Gulab Jaman for afters

[calibrax]

Either Jamaican Curry Goat, or Thai Green Chicken curry.

And if I go for Indian, then it would be a Lamb Balti, a Lamb Rogan Josh or Lamb Madras.

[f1_dragon]

King prawn puri

Lamb tikka madras
Saag bhaji
Pilau rice
Plain naan

Large Cobra.

Now I'm hungry.

[Mobile Chicane]

I like an assortment of dishes (which must include good bombay potatoes and a tarka dhal) to scoop up with a mound of fresh chapatis.

'Proper' curry needs to be eaten with the hands.

[Mr Pies]

Balti chicken saag, keema rice and a portion of chips please.

[SVX]

Durban mutton curry all the way, either as a roti roll or bunny chow, with a side of dhaal.

Close seconds, is either salt belly pork vindaloo or chicken mirch massala with spinach.

I was going to slow cook a chilli to have with nachos and a movie, but this thread has turned my head!

[wiffmaster]

- Poppadoms with Lime Pickle/Mango Chutney
- Meat Samosas or Shami Kebab
- Chicken Pathia (around Madras/Vindaloo heat level) with Pilau Rice and a side of Tarka Dal or Bhindi Bhaji
- Peshwari Naan

[Slink]

im not going to tell you as you will steal my secret....

[mikebradford]

chicken tikka starter with dip
chicken tikka balti main
garlic naan
portion of chips, to keep it authentic

[pete a]

Lamb vindaloo or Jamaican goat curry.

[Turn7]

Im really into minty lamb dishes at the minute, Xacutti lamb in particular.

Along with Mushroom rice, Bombay or Sag aloo and a naan and plenty of beers!

[celticpilgrim]

salt belly pork vindaloo, well, slat belly pork anything curried - never heard of that before, sounds interesting!!

[RodMod]

Naga Lamb, Sag aloo, Keema naan (extra chilli)

Few Cobras

No chips! Chips go with fish


Rod.

[craigjm]

chicken chat starter, Keema peas (madras hot) Dhal Sambar, mushroom rice and a garlic nan, real pistachio kulfi

[thetapeworm]

A couple of my locals do a "Naga Takari" which combines mince and chicken with a rich and tasty sauce that packs heat but has a lot of depth too.

This with lemon rice does the trick for me usually.

I agree with you on all counts - I tend to curry with a few mates who enjoy doing similar. Dish each, selection of sides and a plate of chapatis.

Who calls it Mutton, you or the restaurant?
It makes it sound horrible!
For some reason around and about Curry Capital (Bradford) they often term something from a sheep simply as 'meat' on the menu which I always think is odd.

I recently heard of a norty curry house doing pork, but haven't been yet. even though I love pork it just doesn't sound right in a curry......

Plenty of indian restaurants (and many others) call it mutton (if that's what it is).

Why does it "make it sound horrible"?

AIUI the "lamb" is usually mutton, IMO mutton is much better for curries as it has a stronger flavour.

Equally, where the menu says "chicken" it may well be hen ("Murgh" is Urdu for "hen").
