Urban75's Favourite Curry

[Biddlybee]

lamb dhansak or lamb saag

 

[fredfelt]

Mango and butternut squash korma in coconut milk
Home made saag paneer (with just onion, ginger, garlic, chilli, fresh spinach and paneer)

 

[isitme]

I like that thai curry which is in a fish

it fucking kills to eat it, but it is fucking lush, i think it's made of fish, pineapples and curry stuff

 

[mattie]

Nothing too hot for me, had some lunatic curries before and barely survived either the eating or the latter 'processing'.

My local does a curry called a Dulma which is a really concentrated mint flavour. Not too good in large doses but lovely every now and again.

The larger curry house in town does a thali which, when feeling particulary greedy, I order and resolutely fail to finish. Basically a bit of everything, nothing too spicy.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Sag paneer please!

Mutter Paneer for me - nothing better than cheesy peas! I tend to like creamy curries so, if not, a korma or a kashmir would do me. With a peshwari naan, prawn puree and bombay aloo

 

[ringo]

1. Chana masala (spicy chickpeas)
2. Dal
3. Potato, tomato and coconut (from Madhur Jaffrey's Eastern Vegetarian Cookbook)

 

[Chz]

Favourite curry is green chicken. Or are we being limited to Indian?

 

[Voley]

Goan Vindaloo made with palm vinegar. Lush.
Chicken Xacuti.
Some of those Keralan fish thingies that are awesome.
Hyderabadi Biryani.
Nepali Dhaal bhaat.

I could go on ...

 

[Dr. Furface]

Goan fish curry
Chicken Kharai (sp?)
Chicken Balti (the M&S one is my fave for at home)

 

[idioteque]

I can't choose. Red or green thai prawn curry, king prawn madras, chicken pasander or lamb korai

And sag aloo on the side

 

[tarannau]

Hyderabadi Biryani.
Nepali Dhaal bhaat.

Yep Keralan moulis (sp?) are fantastic. But a curry made with fish chosen by yourself always tastes better by the sea.

Kind of depends on the curry house over here. The names are all a bit random and variable in most places to be fair - one big sauce pot that they throw a few extra items in and change it to a marginally different dish. Love tandoori paneer in one place, a spinach, lamb and egg curry elsewhere and the like. Butter chicken, some lamb chops from the tandoor and a properly hot melt in the mouth on bone lamb korma from Mirch please.

 

[mattie]

Too late or inappropriate to ask for recipes?

If so, that's dinner sorted - short of the actual cooking of it anyway.

 

[Badgers]

It does depend on the place/menu.

Often just have a lamb or chicken madras but do check the chef specials first.
Usually don't have rice but always have chapati or paratha to eat with.
Usually a Saag Paneer on the side.
Sheek kebab to start.

 

[High Voltage]

There's only 2 Indian restaurants where we are - and for YEARS both of them were totally rubbish - then, one of them really up'ed their game and life was good again

So my regular "go to" meal is

Butter chicken
Vegetable Biryani
Sag Aloo
Dhal
2 x paratha

This is then split into three and I have one for my meal and the other two go into the freezer to mature

That was, until the last meal we had from them and they've reverted to sort . . . sigh, no more Rubies for the foreseeable for me and Mrs Voltz I fear

 

[kebabking]

Lamb Bhuna, mushroom rice and either Keema or Peshawar naan.

Or Lamb Biryani with vegetables curry and naan.

Or Chicken Shashlik, or Lamb and Spinach Balti.

 

[Steel Icarus]

It's like asking me which is my favourite dog/child

Best curry I ever had was in Covent Garden somewhere near Betterton Street - perhaps Punjab. Was Mutton Rogan Josh, and was lovely.

So I guess that...but my local takeaway does Lamb Tikka Roshoon Mirch which is the business. Very hot but quite creamy too.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Oh, and Saag Aloo on the side. And lime pickle with just a spoon

 

[magneze]

Bhuna Gosht

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Fish or seafood. No idea why, it just works better in curry for me than meat*. Same with Chinese food.
As for heat, it depends on my mood. I can do vindaloo: it’s tasteless but sometimes that heat hits the spot. Other than that, anything really. I’m not stuck on one dish.

*except Korma type dishes.

 

[mx wcfc]

My missus' curries. Can't beat Indian home cooking.

In restaurants, Methi Keema, Bhindi Bhaji and a chapati, though nowhere seems to do methi anything down here. I tend to go for the chicken balti at our local. sad I know.

 

[Opera Buffa]

Lamb passanda. They do a cracking one down the road from me. Or a vindaloo if I fancy sweating (takeaway only for this reason).

 

[Part 2]

Usually rice n three from This n That in Manchester. On Saturdays that involves dahl, cabbage and maybe chicken or mixed veg, with roti.

 

[Sea Star]

i had a thing with lamb in a tamarind sauce the other day - definitely the best curry I've had for a while. I did only have lamb rogan josh for a while but now i try to have something different every time and it only occasionally goes horribly wrong.

I miss This n That. Must go on an excursion.

I note that from this thread that 9 years on, I haven't strayed from my aubergine favourite, worth a special trip to the wonderful Lily's in Ashton.

 

[Looby]

I almost always have chicken Ceylon, coconut rice and peshwari nan. Sometimes a bhaji and some Bombay potato to share if I’m really hungry.

I love chicken shashlik too. Now I want a curry.

 

[Spymaster]

I judge curry houses by the standard of their saag gosht.

Favourite curry to cook myself is a king prawn gig with shrimp paste and loads of methi.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Meat/veg and sauce dishes: Lamb Ceylon, Kuku-Paka, Aloo Mutter, Aloo Keema, methi lamb

Rice dishes: Lamb Biriyani, Chicken Akni

Sides/starters Crispy Bhujias, fried mogo, rotli, lamb samosa, lamb cutlets, my mum's 24 hour marinated lamb chops

Other: yellow dhal with peanuts (my grans recipe), dohkla, masala dosa

I've not had my breakfast yet

 

[Thimble Queen]

I want a Pakistani mixed grill so bad right now

 

[Idaho]

Lamb chettinad ideally served with appams.

 

[bemused]

Chicken dhansak. Love the stuff.
