Indian (Chicken Tikka Masala) for lunch

[RossMAN]

Chicken Tikka Masala + garlic naan = great lunch

Next time I have to try the Chicken Tal Kozie (something like that).

 

[ggavinmoss]

Good choice, but I'd be happier with some Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta, Garlic Naan, washing it down with a mango lassi, and finishing up with some keer. But then I'd sleep for about 10 hours.

Try Tandoori chicken, Chicken Makhani (also called butter chicken), Chicken 65 (appetizer), chilli chicken or Kadhai chicken. All great dishes but the best IMO award goes to tandoori or makhani. 65 is also great but a liitle hard to make. Makhani is the hardest to make (lots of ingredients!)

I can never remember the dish names, but I usually get Indian food at a buffet, so no worries.

I love vegi pakorra and moli kafta myself. I have a great Indian place near my pad.

What is Tandoori chicken?

Butter chicken sounds to bland, I want something with a little heat.

Tandoor chicken is a yogurt marinated chicken cooked in a tandoor oven.

No, it is pakora I have it all time. It's deep fried vegi balls.

Rossman, Tandoori chicken is very easy to make at home. Usually good directions are given on the masala (spice) that is needed for Tandoori chicken. You clean the chicken and mix it with a yoghurt paste containing the spices for 24 hours. Then take it out and cook it at low heat in a covered frying pan. Excellent taste with minimal effort I can PM you the exact masala name and detailed recipe if you want one.

And dont doubt the blandness of butter chicken, Indian food can be made spicy very fast

Why is a majority of the dishes cooked in yogurt?

Yoghurt is usually a little sour so it lends some taste and also binds everything together in the gravy. Also it has a white color so lightly colored dishes end up looking a lot better.

 

[RossMAN]

Can you recommend some good lunch dishes that have meat (chicken or lamb) and veggies which is a little spicy?

 

[Jzero]

I made tandoori chicken in the crock pot. Worked pretty well.

 

[GasX]

I live by the assumption that any link referring to indian food is going to be a horrible ratemypoo picture...

I love Indian food, but I didn't click on your link.

 

[blackdogdeek]

we just found an indian restaurant near(-ish) where i work. went there yesterday for the $9.99 lunch buffet. yum!

i can't remember any of the dishes but there was a lamb dish with a dark sauce, not spicy, a chicken dish which had an soupy sauce, not spicy, a potato and string beans dish and palaak daal i think, and tandoori chicken.

rossman, if you like spicy try a vindaloo.

it's a really good medium for a marinade that allows the spices to penetrate the meat and coat it properly.

Mwilding - Relax, look at the URL it's Google images for this dish. That's it. Totally work safe.

blackdogdeek - Thanks I saw that on the menu but I think I'll avoid that, for now.

 

[BullsOnParade]

Vindaloo or rogan josh god with a bit of heat.
