Curry on the Coast?
I've come across a few posts about problems getting a curry in Oz, and now am wondering of the chances on The Gold Coast?
I'm hoping as it's very comercial, there will be a few, but haven't a clue really.
Myself and family ARE willing to change our rituals and stuff when in Oz, make new ones etc, but EVERY Saturday night for a good while now has been 'Curry Night'
Maybe it'll have to become 'dodgy sausage' night ....lol

By the way NEVER buy local Australian mussels! They are so teeny tiny it's NOT funny!. Always buy New Zealand GreenLipped ones! They cost about $4 a kilo (enough to feed 2) at woolworths /safeways, but you may have to ask for them(often kept out back frozen but they defrost easily)
I have a scrummy chili mussel recipe. if you want it let me know

Re: Curry on the Coast?
There are a few curry houses on the gold coast also in Brisbane but have to be honest and say the ones that i have had when over there are not a patch on the UK ones. One good thing though is that there is plenty of asian food which is plenty spicy. Sod it i'm going for a take away now

Ok, well it looks like we might find one then, but not to hope for much
Pitty as we have a real good one locally, UK top 10 winner (so the advert states ?!!?) but it is nice.
As Kiwichild says I'll have to get a book or two, throw on the apron, and get in the kitchen with a box of spices and see how we do.
You can take a recipe anywhere!

Re: Curry on the Coast?
There are a few scattered around, but you won't find them comparable to those of the UK. However, there are so many fantastic takeaways and restaurants in australia that I don't think you'll consider it a major hardship. Change Indian night to Thai night... one of my favourite cuisines, and Aus has some great Thai restaurants amongst many other diverse treats.

Re: Curry on the Coast?
Nr me on the Sunshine Coast we are fortunate to have 2 Indian Restaurants that are really good. They are owned by the same person and are pretty similar to Uk ones but with a smaller selection. One is on Aerodrome Road Maroochydore and they do a buffet all-u-eat night for around $20. It is a bargain!! The other is called Curry Bowl and is in Kawan near the shopping world. I rad of a new one opening this week as wel.
I must admit we have only had 3 currys in over a year now as there are so many other yummy restaurants around too.
