A good Indian curry

[PeteC]

I once had a delicious curry, yellowish color with a very large carp head floating in it. In fact, I think it was named 'fish head curry'. This was in Singapore. Is this an Indian dish? Pete

[STEVE G]

Pete, that fish head curry is a Singapore speciality, I used to get one everytime I visited our office there.

Lomu , my dad was in srinagar and Rawalpindi ,Victoria barracks 1936 and many of the hill stations of the Hindu cush , but he hated Indian food although that is now Pakistan i would have love to be there then . And being from Birmingham we all loved curry but my dad used to mone about the smell , so we had to eat out ,and come home smelling of beer and curry. I'm getting a curry felling but cant go out still got this chest cold .

Go to the 'moon smile and platoo' (opposite la grappa) It has to be that particular one, no other will do. Purloin a seat or two. Ask for a - Guy patpong gallie, also some rice and garlic bread. Ask for it as hot as you like. I promise you wont be dissapointed. If you are i'll pay for it, can't say fairer than that!!!!
Damn another secret out to the great unwashed, you lot owe me big time.

I'll check it out if I can find it

Great little place, one of my personal favourites, there or BamBams.

BamBams do some cracking curries, I've enjoyed some lovely grub there.

The Taj-Mahal in Hua Hin is OK

I'm not sure OK is quite the right word for it. Inedible? Shockingly poor? While it was considerably cheaper than back home to be honest it was poor value because the 'food' was inedible. I guess I'll have to learn to cook some decent Indian curry myself (bit easier to get the ingredients here than back home I suspect). Anyone got any good recipes? He who provides the best might just get a couple of changs out of me!

Supertonic, if you got an inedible meal there then it's got even worse. I was there a while back and it wasn't good but it was edible, just a bit bland.

[SuperTonic]

I'm not sure you could accuse if of being bland given that they overloaded with chillis (don't get me wrong, I like heat, but I like flavour too). It's just it tasted like stew + brown sauce + chillis. Not madras. And pretty minging stew at that.

Supertonic, it sounds like they have the same recipe for Madras as half of the Indian restaurants in Germany!

[SuperTonic]

Tried Maharaja last night.. sauce was ok, chicken was definitely dodgy.

Its being refurbished at the moment, good food when normal service resumes though.

Its next to onn onn corner bar, second one down from the temple entrance on the same row as Bam Bams.

Just a warning to all curry-gourmets out there.

This article come from flightglobal.com


British Airways has banned cabin crews from using microwaves for non-airline food after a curry exploded at 35,000ft.

A stewardess caused £20,000 of damage on a Boeing 747 flight from Heathrow to Miami, after she heated up a ready meal she had bought from a supermarket.

The curry blew up in the high-powered microwave, which was in the club class kitchen.

Staff had to use a fire extinguisher to control the blazing oven, although British Airways insists there was no threat to passengers' safety. However, the 747 needed days of repairs.

The airline sent a warning email to its staff, explaining that onboard food needs special packaging because its club class microwaves are twice as powerful as domestic ones.

A BA employee said, "Many cabin crew like to bring their own meals to eat.

"At first we thought the microwaves were a godsend. But this unfortunate incident has left us with egg on our faces."

BA stressed, "At no time was there any danger to passengers or the aircraft."

Curry in their faces and a chilli or two in their eyes, more like.
"No danger to passengers"? Except for the smell of a good M&S vindaloo. Shame they weren't on route to India. That would have been poetic justice!!!

Found it I'll check it out when it's sorted Btw best curry of any variety I've had so far is Masaman curry at the mini farm kitchen restaurant (up soi 88, over the tracks, look for the 7/11 and it's 2 or 3 to the right of that). Droolworthy.
