Dont get me wrong ive never been dissapointed , but truth be told id like a curry with a little bit more hello there. The mrs isnt one for spice, well not in a curry sense (steady) so i stick to the mild for a bit of good old mix and match.

Just wondered what everybody else has and from where , just to be nosey really.

My particular favourite has to be the Pathia. Plenty of spice, but with flavour rather than burn. Not had one in ages, and feel hungry now, damn this thread!

Can't be without a good ring stinger. See if they'll do a Tindaloo, but make sure you keep your bog roll in the fridge.

 

[Pubey]

Vindaloo, sag aloo and a garlic nan

I dont think you can beat a good Chicken Madras. Going out for a few beers tomorrow night, im sure i'll get one.

A hot one doesn't bring peace to your rong osy, quite the reverse. :)

Used to go to the one opposite called the mughal dynasty.
We all used to spend sunday in the harry and then into there , that was until the was a mass brawl over a naan bread.

Still get dirty looks now and that was about 6 years ago.

I haven't been back to the mugal since we were told off for throwing hot towels up into the spinning fans on the ceiling and causing them to fly accross the room into customers dinner!

I'm a big fan of Bombay Spice and Leigh Tandoori

 

[BrettieAngell]

Vindaloo normally, sometimes have it with Rogan Josh or Dansak if I'm in a restaurant.

Not because it isn't hot but Korma is so boring there are much tastier dishes.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Onion Bhaji's
King Prawn Dhansak
Pilau Rice
Keema Naan

If my old man's with me, we usually get a Dhansak and a Chicken Bidami(sp) and share them.

There's only one place to go in Southend these days, Indian Valley just next to Simply Blues. Great food, great service and a great little restaurant.

I've never really worked out what the best curry dishes are, but I'm a bit spoiled up in London with all 3 local takeaway restaurants doing some cracking stuff.

Sag chana is a winner at one. I really rate spinach in curries and combine it with some decent flavours, chick peas, cream and chicken and you get a dish made in heaven.

Also - this can be more hit and miss - fish in curry is usually awesome. Some places are crap at it, so anywhere whose idea of a King Prawn Dansak is 7 peeled frozen prawns you need a microscope to spot isn't going to do it very well. But seriously, white fish in curries is great. Ate it loads in India and any Bangladeshi curry house (which is 75% of them) in this fair isle should have it as an option.

I'd also really rate keeping it simple when it comes to meat. All those stuffed dishes and weird fusion recipes usually pale when compared to some decent, well-seasoned tikka. Anyone whose had the chops at Tayyabs / Lahore or the skewed oven cooked chicken at one of the Lasan places will know what I mean.

Usually though, I always think you can't go wrong with Chicken karahi, Sag aloo, Mushroom Pilau rice and a chapati to mop it all up...
