How awesome is this stuff? I've only recently gotten into it. What are some of your favorite Indian dishes? I need to expand my horizons.


Tonight I'm having goat Vindaloo from the place down the street from me.

Tandoori chicken.

Yes, I have had that. Love it. I love all the basic stuff like butter chicken and tikki massala too. Tonight will be my first time trying the Vindaloo.


Also, I had some spinach paneer that was pretty fantastic. Some sort of okra as well....And a chickpea dish. All fantastic.

Ive only had it a few times. I liked the first I had (some place on Vets aint dere no mo) Had something really spicy. I went to Nirvana a few times on Magazine. Not that impressed. The one thing I noticed I don't like about the dishes I had is that Indians way over cook chicken it would seem. I have had some dishes where the chicken was cooked almost to a powder. I hope it isn't like that always.

Proper vindaloo should be really spicy (IMO). It's really good. Good choice on the goat.

It's only ever been tender and delicious to me. The spices they marinate with really tenderize the meat.

Yes, I had the choice of chicken, lamb, goat. Went with goat, because goat is friggin 'awesome, and it's rare I find a restaurant that serves it around these here parts lol.


Yes, the guy warned me it is very spicy. Can't wait.

Place on Vets was likely India Palace. They were pretty good. Indian food is actually one of the few cuisines that can stand up to a buffet type of service and their lunch buffet was quite good. Always ordered off the menu at dinner - also very good.

Taj Mahal on Metairie Rd used to be quite good as well, but I haven't been there in years. Hopefully they have held up.

But, now I see that the OP in Mississippi, so that might not help him tonight.

Northern Indian differs slightly than Southern Indian food. Both are very good, but there are some stylistic differences between the two. Do a little research on it if you have some time to kill,

And yes, a good Vindaloo should make you sweat at least a bit.

Enjoy!

We got takeout from there at the end of April. Still quite good.

I love Lusuni Gobi. At least at the bay leaf in BR. Lamb Padanda, Chicken Tikka masala, and pretty much any kind of naan they'll make me are also great choices.

Huge Indian food fan. Before we moved from Alexandria VA to Charleston, we ate Indian buffet every weekend. My kids ate it in the womb and they’ve been eating it ever since.

It’s a party in your mouth.

Granted it's not for everyone, but I absolutely love it!!

Fortunately, I've had some great Indian friends and have had fantastic meals with them.... They introduced me to the home cooking, ala going have gumbo at MawMaw's house, and have enjoyed every moment.
