Saag Paneer has lead to nothing but disappointment for me.

Just like everything else has.

mango lassi, mango lassi, mango lassi.

I want my lassi served to me by Ayesha Dharkar while I recline on the back of a passive elephant in the forest.

― andy, Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I have discovered a dish called shahi paneer which is like the food of gods.

also, samosas.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Go with the chicken tikka masala. Also lassi is good, but you might see if they have this Almond drink called Badam milk (maybe more of a South Indian thing?)

i am so glad i just ate dinner and am completely full, otherwise this thread would be torture.

― Cynthia Nixon Now More Than Ever (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:44 (twenty-one years ago)

You can't get beef in Indian resturants, by the way, on account of cows being sacred in India.

― Pedant Wooden (Wooden), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Some Muslim restaurants are renegade though.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost: That's partly true since it pertains only to the Hindus; the Muslims in the west have no problem with it. [FWIW: India has the 2nd highest Muslim population in the world (something like 140M) next to Indonesia.]

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:52 (twenty-one years ago)

you know that whole sacred thing cow apparently has nothing do to with Hindu scripture - it more of an arachaic/symbolic thing due to the importance of cows in cultivating the land and hence in people's livelihoods.

some author in India presented this analysis in a book a few years ago and had a Hindu fatwa taken against him.

I'm just glad the BJP lost that last election.

Saag paneer
Aloo gobi
Veg biryani
Naan tandoor

(Taking sides: saag paneer with the runny cheesiness vs with hardish cubes. Also taking sides: saag paneer vs palak paneer.)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i prefer a happy medium between runny cheesiness and nardish cubes, which i think is achieved by good preparation i.e good cooks.

what's palak? saag is spinach right

― Tannenbaum Schmidt (Nik), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently the same thing!

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:09 (twenty-one years ago)

brain massala

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:09 (twenty-one years ago)

i prefer the firmish cubes. (take THAT out of context, ilxors!)

― Cynthia Nixon Now More Than Ever (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Hindu Fatwa is probably tastier and more filling, but I'll bet Muslim Fatwa is better in hot weather, especially the cucumbers.

― andy, Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i like chilled monkey brains

― Tannenbaum Schmidt (Nik), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

South Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken/Chicken Tikka Punjabi

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Thursday, 14 October 2004 08:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude, this Northern Indian hegemony has to stop!

My favorite Indian stuff is "chaat" (street food of Bombay and Delhi), the two basic building blocks of which are crispy dough of some kind and chutney. It's essentially a big mixed salad that can be both sweet and spicy, with yogurt, or veg, or a crazy mix of things. Some places that specialize in chaat will have maybe 20 different varieties to choose from.

― You've Got to Pick Up Every Stitch (tracerhand), Thursday, 14 October 2004 09:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Chilled monkey brains, though popular in cantonese cuisine, is not often found in Washinton D.C.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Thursday, 14 October 2004 09:37 (twenty-one years ago)

brain masala was on the menu in Chicago. (on that street with a load of indian stuff next to the street with a lot of jewish stuff... State?)

― RR (Lamp), Thursday, 3 November 2011 05:40 (fourteen years ago)

indian food is easy to make and a lot cheaper to cook at home than to buy at a restaurant, especially if you're not using meat. there is no reason to go three years without eating indian food; that's just criminal.

SAAG/PALAK PANEER

― yuoowemeone, Thursday, 3 November 2011 08:29 (fourteen years ago)

i made muttar paneer last night. it was okay.

― thomp, Thursday, 3 November 2011 09:19 (fourteen years ago)

I've learned to cook dishes at home, not as good as restaurant food, but better than frozen Indian dinners. Only drawback is that I can't make samosas or naan!

― โตเกียวเหมียวเหมียว aka Don Nots (Mount Cleaners), Thursday, 3 November 2011 12:04 (fourteen years ago)

Fuck this shit, I'm getting Indian food delivered.
Malai kofta, garlic naan, veg pakora, and samosas.
And that's how I roll it.

Add gobi Manchurian (dry) and that's exactly what we got a couple nights ago.

There is NO reason to go more than one week without Indian food.

― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Thursday, 3 November 2011 14:17 (fourteen years ago)

I was going to say!

There is NO reason to go more than one week without Indian food.

I've lasted longer. More than one week without Mexican food = RED ALERT.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 3 November 2011 14:19 (fourteen years ago)

Can you get anything like Patak curry paste easily in the US? You just add tomatoes and whatever you want to curry (veg, meat, etc) and get a decent result in twenty minutes.

― Mohombi Khush Hua (ShariVari), Thursday, 3 November 2011 15:06 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, there're several brands of that type stuff at the Whole Foods/Trader Joe's type stows.

― ███★★★███ (PappaWheelie V), Thursday, 3 November 2011 15:11 (fourteen years ago)

I like the Maesri curry pastes in the small cans.

― D. Boon Pickens (WmC), Thursday, 3 November 2011 15:13 (fourteen years ago)

Patak's Lime Pickle is the shit.

― A Chuck Person's Guide to Mark Aguirre (Andy K), Thursday, 3 November 2011 16:21 (fourteen years ago)

Only drawback is that I can't make samosas or naan!

? why not? neither of these is particularly difficult.

Trader Joe's has great frozen indian breads for some reason - parathas and garlic naan both surprisingly tasty

― The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 3 November 2011 16:24 (fourteen years ago)

Can you get anything like Patak curry paste easily in the US?

you can totally get this stuff in the US

― The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 3 November 2011 16:24 (fourteen years ago)

not from Safeway, but anywhere where there's an Indian community, this stuff is available.

― The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 3 November 2011 16:25 (fourteen years ago)

any good recipe sites/books?

― dayo, Thursday, 3 November 2011 16:27 (fourteen years ago)

Just polished off some delish leftover homemade dal with tofu.

I made some Moong Dal for supper tonight. I played a bit fast and loose with the recipe, but somehow it still turned out very delicious. This is probably crazy talk, but I felt like adding some egg to it might have improved it.
