Because his mum couldn't be arsed to cook"On the contrary, she was cooking it every other day so never felt the need to go to an Indian  | |||

That's a good way to be though! Always good to keep an open mind even I've never heard of coffee or orange flavours being involved!"No, they were definitely a bit of a chaotic palette in that one. I suppose the base recipe I work from in my own kitchen witchery way was once a rogan josh before I got carried away. And on days I don't feel adventurous at an Indian I probably do go for a rogan josh, or a dhansak, or a phaal. Though the latter only if I've eaten from there before and know they actually care about the flavours and not just the heat. Usually have a peshwari naan with a hot one, or a garlic one with a mild one. Rice will depend on what the weirdest option is and what sounds like it'll compliment the main best | |||

"Lamb Phall with Pilou rice, a side order of Alou Ghobi and a plane Nann. Lived near Bradford back in 76. Lots of Indian restaurants and take always there. Love the stuff, hotter the better. Oh and in English my side order is potato and cauliflower: lol." Wait... They're both the same! | |||

"My grandmother was Indian and her food was amazing. Then she went and died and I didn't eat it for about 10 years because it just wasn't as good. I got over it. Hers is still by far the best though!" Awww that's so heartwarming to hear. I have found the home made stuff tastes better but there's always a place for other things | |||

"Nisha who owns the Mowgli chain is a judge on great British menu. Random useless info aside. Chicken chat puri to start, or aloo tiki chaat but only the good street food places do that one (there used to be a place called Rita’s in southall that did the best chicken naan breads and aloo tikki, yum. Then it got taken over and went badly downhill - and it wasn’t posh to start with!) Then either chana masala with chicken tikka starter as my main or lamb bhuna or chicken passanda With pilau rice And a paratha or puri bread to take home for breakfast the next day "Daaaaaaamn! You got the whole menu sorted and everything | |||

"Visit your local Gurdwara and try and visit their Langar Halls. The 'grassroots' vegetarian food is humbling and delicious." That's very true! I'm not religious in the slightest but the fact fresh food is cooked every day and all are welcome to eat is something that's really admirable | |||

"Most Indian restaurants and take aways are tandoori, which is Pakistani. I love the stuff. But once, when I was taking one of my sons to Nottingham to see a wrestling show, I was recommended an original South Indian restaurant. The food there was slightly different, the menu was also different. The food there was also amazing. Next I want to try Sri Lankan food. There is a place in Hove that I heard about." We went to a very nice (and quirky) Nepali restaurant in Nottingham. | |||

"British people love Indian food right? But eating it a lot growing up meant I've rarely eaten it at a restaurant or a takeaway and therefore, don't have a go-to order! So tell me Fabbers, what's your order and why is it the best thing to get? "I don’t have a goto order on the uk mostly because also ate and cooked loads growing up & the names are just all made up. If it’s good/authentic restaurant I like mutton with red lentils, peshwari naan or a butter paratha , also Daal makhani if it’s Punjabi style. For a starter I go for a chicken tikka chaat puree.tons of calories but love it | |||

"I've been getting educated Gujarati style recently. I think my favourite dish is is probably Tadka Dal with Paratha. I'm apparently pretty close to mastering it. It would almost pass her mother's test... almost. I'm also quite partial to Saag Aloo and recently discovered the joy of Dosas. So I don't know exactly I'm a bit of a kid in a candy shop at the moment." There's a place at the edge of Manchester that specialises in dosas. They come out the size of the table.. | |||
