try asking the waiter, most indians have house specials, most are worth a go

Chicken Jalfrezi with peshwari nan for Jack and Butter Chicken with plain nan for Kate. We don't bother with the rice anymore, you can really taste the "dish" off the nan. We think it's better like that, and an Indian friend of ours told us, they don't usually have rice and nan, but more often just the curry and one of their special breads to scoop it up with. They don't bother with forks or spoons, lol.

Also, we both like good 'ole Chicken Biryani

Washed down with couple of Cobra's or Kingfisher's

If you are ever in London go to Tayyabs in Whitechapel.

Lamb chops in there are divine.

Or Imli on Wardour St, Indian tapas-yummy.

We prefer home made currys. They just taste better and believe me cooking a curry is not rocket science lol. When we do eat out its normally jimmy spices, solihull or Gables, by the old airport.

wow i bet your home made currys are to die for, do you use any branded sauces or is the whole curry handmade so to speak

just need to pack you in my suitcase when i stay away

have you been to the one that won the competition on the last gordon ramsey show ? cant remember the name but it was in birmingham

you can buy spices from any asian shops and even asda or tesco's. its all down to personal taste so just use your imagination and get in the kitchen.

have not been to the one that was on gordon ramseys show yet. most indian restaurants cater for non indian customers and for us the food can be bland and mild so another tip is eat out where there are more asian customers.

Actually the best curry we had at a restaurant was in Leeds a few years ago. Cant remember the name but think it was in chapel town

i went to one in bamber bridge near preston when was staying in a hotel, was nice as i could leave car at the hotel and walk so could have a few cobras

will have a go at cooking from home but i tend to like one as a treat when staying awayhad a madras and omg my mouth was tingling for 24 hours the heat was in a different league to back home and very different taste even though it was the same dish.

When i cook my curries from home i tend to marinate my poultry or meat and leave in the fridge overnight for that extra taste.

Secret of a good home made curry (and this came from the chef at the Indian we eat at) is to make up a base of sauteed Onions, Ginger and Garlic.

When this is softened (in ghee) put it in a food blender and blitz it for a few seconds.

This is a great base for curries, and can be frozen for use later.

Just re fry this base with your choice of spices or spice paste and add meat/coconut milk.

Is the closest I have ever got to the taste of the Indian restaurant.

Over the last few years my favourites have become the West Indian curries...particularly curry goat although the bones are a pain in the arse.

LOL most of the caribbean restaurants are not that formal mate...at least not the ones I used to frequent. Quite a few do a buffet so thats a good way to try new stuff. The one thing I miss about London is that there is no Jerk place here in Canterbury. Of course Jerk Chicken with Rice & Peas mmmmm
