Curry

[JCW]

Totally the opposite for me! I chose a job on the basis that there was a Thai restaurant 100 yards from the office - rather than across the road from a Golf Simulator!

'Indian' (well, Anglo-Indian made by Bangladeshis) curries tend to be heavy in the stomach whereas Thai ones aren't. Did work very close to Brick Lane and Friday was generally Curry Lunch day - though the Bagel Shop further down was the real discovery!

I make my own Thai meals, really simple and quick - though with commercial paste - and grow my own Thai Basil, Coriander and Bird Eye Chillies Even used to have a couple of Lime Leaf trees!

Tasted a wonderful Malay sweet curry the other day - at Brocket Hall, while watching the Botham Day antics!

Thats interesting that you grow the veg , i import mind and they are gone in a few hours , sold out

I am sure many of you on here love a good curry , me too ...........I am at this moment cooking a Malaysian Chicken Curry with curry powder i got from Malaysia as I have my own little Asian Food store here in Dorset , Not had one for a while so looking forward to it ,its now on a slow cook and i will add the coconut milk later yum yum . ...........What type do you like to buy or cook , I love a Madras when i do go out with Pilau rice and a Keema nan as a side dish and washed down with a few Tiger beers . Best curry i have had other then ones i have cooked was in Newcaslte near Saley Hall , its on a Railway Station and they tell me its a curry train from Newcaslte where they take your order on the train , That was a lovely meal as we had a HDIDO meet there the next 2 days ....................EYCurry :thup:

I love all curry , I think you need to send me some to my house please mate

Really do not understand the appeal of food that requires you to spend much of the next day in the crapper...

One of the best curries I had was away at Man City when I stayed over, went to a street/area after the match renown for curries and in this huge place that was mobbed out so I didn't hold out much hope it would be that good being so busy, how wrong I was, best curry to date, we were all (12 of us, well behaved, polite, innocent, model Chelsea fans), swapping our food tasting each others as we wre all very impressed with every dish we had.

I now have more Chinese takeaways than curries, as has been said, I also find some curries a little heavy, but its all about taste and flavour for me, not heat, although I don't like the creamy mild ones.

Talking of Rick Stein , have you tried his malaysian beef Rendang , no ? may i suggest you do , he rates it highly

Will give it a try!

- though the Bagel Shop further down was the real discovery

Grew up and went to school near there
Used to walk to the Bagel shop on Sunday morning with my dada,,stopping off at the flower market on the way back for my mum

.... Happy memories of an East End childhood.

Best curry I have ever had was made by a Gurkha ! Amazingly tasty with such great powerful flavours without being "hot and spicey"

No idea how he made is so nice

if you ever come down this way Phil, there is a restaurant called "the Gurkha Chef" its amazing and will blow your socks off!

 

[Beezerk]

Just about anything on the menu at Al Frash in Birmingham's Balti Triangle, and as for the Tandoori Lamb Chops starter!!!!!!!

Went to this restaurant a few years ago, top notch stuff. Can't remember a massive amount about it though, don't you take your own alcohol there? :cheers:

still use both the bagel shop and the curry houses there when popping out after work fox,bagel with huge salt beef and mustard is pure qlty.

Did the curry train a good few years back, but was way to pished to enjoy the meal, one of our party passed out and ended up in a korma.

The people that run the curry train also have a restaurant next to the market place in Hexham and that is very very good, called the Valley Connection, the curry train one is called the Valley Junction.

I have a few good take aways close by and off them two have restaurants. The Clay Oven up at at Chapel House is okay if you're pushed and can't get out as they deliver. Brighton Road take away used to be the go to place for a friday night curry, they have a indian market shop as part of the take away and through the day you can stock up on your own cooking supplies or buy their curries boxed up ready for the microwave, not quite the same though. These days, for a friday night curry, it's a toss up between the Bindi Cafe and Solomans, both very good take away and sit down, though at the minute Solomons is edging it as they do a Nawabi Khana dish, chicken or lamb, not particularly spicey but the flavour is fantastic.

In Newcastle, Dabbawal and indian street food style restaurant, the Rupali, where you can do the curry hell challenge, something not for the faint hearted and you have to sign a waiver before it is served declaring anything that happens to you as a result of eating is not the restaurants fault. There are many other cracking indians in Newcastle, the Koh i noor, the golden bengal, Raj Tandoori

Absolutely! I'm a Dijon fan though, rather than English - too tangy.

And the one nearer Bethnal Green Rd is the better of the 2 imo - Bagel Bake! The fact that it is (or was) a Taxi Driver hangout should give an indication - just like the Fish Shop near Marleybone was - until it had a fire!

Not sure where (or even whether) there's a Taxi Drivers Curry House! The fact that Lager is normally involved probably excludes them!

 

[Slab]

Chicken vindaloo, rice and butter nann every Friday at the local Indian

Sets me up for the weekend

A few of my mates are black cabbies and use the brick lane curry houses,they also use a kebab house up west what does unbelievable grub! Have been there once and the chops in there are like you used to get in the 70s ie have plenty of meat on them! Will find out the name of it.

That would have been the Curry Mile in Rusholme, had the game been at Main Road you could have walked there after the match. Not been there myself for some time but had many great meals there in the past.

That's jogged the old memory beans, it was the 'Curry Mile' in Rusholme and it was at Maine Road and we did walk, although we stopped in a few pubs on route, as you do :smirk:

Found a recipe for a Lamb Shank Madras on the flowerpot kitchen website, well worth a go if you're into making your own.
