Thread: Glasgow 'invented' Tikka Masala

Marmite I have to take issue....

The Kashmir is shit....oily and it had a rotten greasy after taste. I'd never go there again.

Mrs Balbirs chicken vindaloo is absolutely top notch, spicy, the required sourness with the vinegar, just perfect.

Indus is my particular favourite Indian, if you added Balbirs vindaloo to the menu it'd be perfect.

Pahurat is good value because all the poor Sth Asians in the area, their not aiming for tourists.

There's quite a few places in Pratunam also. One had a 100B special where you small servigs of several dishes along with Japati and rice, think it's closed now.

On the top floor or Emporium they sell take away India, if you go after 8pm it's 40% off. Food is made by Novotel, but still a bit oily.

Had a good curry in Pattaya not long ago.Guy from Bradford owns it.One of the soi's off Soi Buakhao.
I spent all day yesterday making a Gharabi (base gravy) and now just making a Jalfrazi.I am not Indian but I am a chef and I did a stint in an Indian restaurant.The UK taste is all in how you make the base gravy

Just shows how different they can be on different days and how tastes vary.

I still reckon that Indians can't cook decent curries unless they've spent some time in the UK.
