Do these restaurants still do the 'family sized nann breads'
That take over most of the table?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:44, 2 replies, latest was 15 years ago)

Possibly
I would struggle to eat one however, so I wouldn't know.

What do you usually order?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:47, Reply)

Chicken kashmiri
pilau rice and a peshwari naan. I'm not big on overly spicy stuff.
And you?
(berk, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:49, Reply)

If I go out with mates we usually split a rice between two
there's far too much for one if we're having bread too.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:51, Reply)

I stare at the menu for ten minutes and then order the usual of
Chicken Tikka Madras
Special Fried Rice
Plain Nann
Veg Dhal and maybe a onion bhaji if I'm quite peckish.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:52, Reply)

I'm a chicken sagwala man
half a pilau rice and then sometimes a naan, sometimes not.

Ooh, not seen those for a while
There are a bunch of Indian takeaways near me but it's about 15 minutes walk up to Bhangla Lounge or Lasans. I'll do that occasionally if I'm in the mood for curry.

Do you find that ordering takeout curry for 1 it's hard to meet the minimum order? I do.

Yes, almost always

It's easier to order a curry for one than it is to order Chinese for one.
With a curry, it is just a case of

Main dish
Rice dish
Nann/Sundry items

With a Chinese, to fully enjoy it, you really need a couple of mains along with either rice or chow mein and a few sundry items.

I don't really ever do Chinese or Thai or Japanese or any of that
I don't mind it particularly, but I'd never choose it over Indian or Italian or French or even German.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:52, Reply)

You should try
Sabai Sabai (it's thai) on Woodbridge Road. Fuck me that place is awesome.

EDIT - also, Germany has cuisine? And takeaways?
(berk, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:56, Reply)

I'm amazed they have a dress code.
*stares blankly*
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:57, Reply)

The Germans have a long tradition of culinary delights.
Usually done on gas mark five.

Schnitzel! Strudel! All that Jazz!
Maybe not takeaway but there's a German restaurant at the bottom end of Shirley I keep meaning to try.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 22 Nov 2010, 0:02, Reply)

Shirley seems a very strange place
for a German restaurant! That said, I think there's an Iranian restaurant on the Hagley road or something equally as odd.

I'm sure I complained of this

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:56, Reply)

What do you like though?
Hot and spicy or creamy and mild?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:57, Reply)

creamy and mild
I'm no good with spicy stuff. I've spent my life never eating in Chinese or Thai places because of the peanut and fish allergies
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 23:58, Reply)

I'm going to cook

That's what I have
if the curry place I'm in doesn't do my favourite thing. It's nice.

I'm right into cooking curry at the moment.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 22 Nov 2010, 0:04, Reply)

From scratch?
I ought to try that. I've made thai green curry from scratch and it was really good, far better than bought paste... but I've recently found a curry paste that's really good, so I've never bothered to make curry sauce as opposed to just buying a jar of the stuff..
(berk, Mon 22 Nov 2010, 0:07, Reply)

Yeap.
from scratch.

I'm not a fan of the 'stir in sauce' and I get a sense of pride in making it.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 22 Nov 2010, 0:11, Reply)

I shall give it a whirl one time
however this stuff is beautiful. I've had takeaway curry which was less nice.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 22 Nov 2010, 0:18, Reply)

There's a jalfrezi in the same range
which is probably more your thing, although I haven't had it and it might be rubbish, but the korma is bloody lush. And the jar it comes in is very pretty.
(berk, Mon 22 Nov 2010, 0:23, Reply)

I don't mind if it isn't outstanding
I'll eat it anyway, but if there is a fantastic stir-in sauce I wanna know about it.

Although there is something nice about having no E-number in your food.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 22 Nov 2010, 0:25, Reply)

There aren't E numbers in that stuff
I think it's coloured with paprika or summat.

I shall buy some and report back!

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 22 Nov 2010, 0:29, Reply)

you need to cook the basic sauce first
www.curryhouse.co.uk/rsc/sauce.htm

If you are going to make it yourself.

It is quite labour intensive, to be honest, it is a lot less hassle to order it in.

Is this a Bhuna?
Or is this a Jalfrezi?
Mixed up my order,
They all look the same to me

Open your gob,
Just swallow a fork and see.
I'm just a student,
Need something real cheap to eat

Because I'm stoney broke
Not a bean
Don't remember
The menu I've seen

Korma, Saag or Madras
Doesn't really matter to me
To me...

Naan-aa, just killed a man
Poppadom against his head
Had lime pickle, now he's dead.
Naan-aa, dinner just begun
But now I'm going to crap it all away.

Naan-aa, ooh-ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry,
Seen nothin' yet just see the loo tomorrow,
Curry on, Curry on,
'cause nothing really madras.

Too late, my dinner's gone
Sends shivers up my spine
Rectum aching all the time.
Goodbye every bhaji, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and use the loo.

Naan-aa, ooh ooh,
This Dopiaza's mild,
Sometimes wish we'd never come here at all.

I see a little chicken tikka on the side,
Rogan Josh, Rogan Josh
pass the chutney made of mango.
Vindaloo does nicely
Very very spicey
ME!

Biryani (Biryani)
Biryani (Biryani)
Biryani and a naan
O Vindaloooooooo
(No no no no no non o no no No)

I've eaten balti, somebody help me
He's eaten balti, get him to a lavatory
Stand well back
This loo's quarantined.

Here it comes,
There it goes, technicolor yawn
I chunder
No!
It's coming up again
(There he goes)
I chunder
It's coming up again
(There he goes)
I chunder
It's coming up again
Up again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

This vindaloo is about to wreck my guts Poor me... Poor me... Poor me!
So you think you can chunder and think it's alright?
So you think you can eat curry and drink all night?
Ohh maybe, now you'll puke like a baby,
Just had to come out,
Just had to come right out in here....

Korma, saag or bhuna,
Balti, naan or bhaji
Nothing makes a difference to me
To me
Anyway my wind blows.
