I *LOVE* Indian food... we have a great little restaurant in my hometown. Just a couple of days ago I had some Lamb Vindaloo. I ordered it hot and the chef wasn't kidding when he said it was spicy! :Q
(although i'd have to say my fav dish is Chicken Tikka... mmmm....)
Describe Chicken Tikka if you wouldn't mind.
It's boneless chicken pieces that are marinated and cooked over a grill (I think? not sure about the grill part)...it's my favorite dish too!
Altho I'm into a south indian dish called 'kotthu roti'..its really nice. comes in chicken, goat, or vegetables.
N8Magic: what good indian restaruants do you know of? <since we are both in the same relative area..Toronto>
Chicken Tikka, I believe just means Cut up chunks of Chicken. they usually cut it in to square chunks, Then you can have it in Kabob style, skewered, or you can put it in a gravy sauce. maybe there are other ways of preparing the chicken chunks.
some Punjabi dishes i would reccomend you guys try:
Palak Paneer (spinach with cheese chunks in creamy sauce, sounds odd but GOOD)
Chicken Tikka - u already know this
Tandoori Chicken (BBQ Chicken)
Goat meat (watch for bones) (a.k.a. bhakri)
Cholay (chickpeas)
Sheek Kabab - ground up assorted meats put on skewer.
Daal makni (lentils in butter sauce)
Chicken Makni (chicken chunks in butter sauce)
Eat the above with Naan, the light, fluffy bread made in a Tandoor. You can also eat them with Kulcha, Kulcha is a naan with onion bits and other vegetable bits. Its really good too.
Also, try Rumali roti. its very thin, but good. They make it in a upside down pan.
For dessert, ask for Kheer (rice pudding - i prefer without raisins, some restaurants put raisins tho. should be COLD)
Kulfi-Indian ice cream, frozen with pistachio bits
Gulab Jaman - round, dough balls cooked and soaked in syrup. Should be Warm
Jalebi-round shaped fried dough with orange color added. its crispy, and sweet. should be Warm-hot.
I think the desserts are common for both North and south indian food but i'm not sure.
For south Indian food: i reccomend:
masala dosa - boiled veggies and potato in crepes
idli with sambhar
udapum
yogurt rice
lemon rice
take with coconut or mango chutney.
if there are any other south indian dishes i should try let me know. i usually just order the above tho to be safe =).
damnit i'm hungry now
