Re: Indian Food
I just discovered "Naan n Curry" in Concord, CA. Dirt cheap, very good ($24 for two, including rice, papadums, sag paneer, chicken tandoori and achari lamb).
Crowded and hectic, stand in line to order, and again to pay (stupid - why not pay when you order?!). But ... it was good food and I'll be back. In Scottsdale, I keep going back to Tandoori Times on Hayden - best in the valley to me. |

I love Kalustyan's! I don't cook but they have a great selection of bitters that I use in some of my drink specials.

As for San Francisco, India Palace in the western addition(?) has a good buffet, the one in Alameda is better though. I'm also a fan of Pakwan on 16th street, and Aslam Rasoi on Valencia, I don't know what it's called but the restaurant opposite the asian ghetto by the Cal campus is also super good. |

Re: Indian Food
I use this online store to buy supplies, and make curries at home: https://www.ishopindian.com
The Pataks range of pastes (not sauces) are about as good as it gets for something that produces a curry in 15 mins, and only cost $3.99 a jar here. I used to get them from Amazon, until someone helpfully named ishopindian in an Amazon review as a better source :) The hot and spicy naan breads are delicious, even after being frozen and popped in the toaster to melt; don't miss those if you like flatbreads with a bit of flavor. |

My local Asian grocery store, a full sized grocery store dedicated to Asian food, they have 3 isles of Indian food, which includes some English items. Based on your recommendation i picked up a jar of the paste on the way home from work today, for $3.49. I hope to try it tomorrow. I also got a huge 1 liter bottle of Ribena for $6.99 and some Tetley green tea with honey 72 bags for $5.99.

The Korma's nice with a tin of coconut milk as the liquid. |

I got the Korma, my wife cant handle anything other than mild. I'm out tomorrow for heavy cream which is what the recipe on the side of the jar calls for. would the coconut milk not make it too runny?
I'm very non-recipe about the whole thing - I've used tinned tomatoes as the korma sauce before, and I throw in things like chopped bell peppers if there are some in the fridge, or snap in on more frozen green beans about 5 mins before the end. The pastes are very forgiving. |
Re: Indian Food
Royal India Bistro in Lexington, MA is by far the best curry house I've found on my travels around the US.

Korma is good - flavorful, but not spicy. Sure, cream is great. Coconut milk does make it runny, but the family like it that way as they then get lots of sauce soaked into the rice.

Thank you for the recommendation though :thumbsup: The Asian supermarket was a bit of an eye opener, almost wanted to buy this to put in our fridge for the wife to see for a laugh :lol: http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/a...0/IMG_1318.jpg |
