All this talk of India lately has really got me wanting my favorite indian dish. I just made plans to go to my favorite indian resteraunt in Amsterdam on wednesday and im stocked!
Everytime I go to this restaurant it feels like some magical entranceway to narnia or something. It is this small unsuspecting door sitting between a row of shops. When you ent it you follow this long narrow hallway that twists and turns with few markings until you finally open up to the full restaurant, but prior to that you feel like your about to see mr thomas scutter by or something.
The food is amazing though and with the usual lovely indian hospitality and beers. I am usually the only one there who isnt indian, which is how I know its the right place to be :)
@freemo What is your favourite Indian food?
@freemo Aah! Got it what you are trying to say.
It is really tasty if it is made good.
@freemo Absolutely!! And the overall quality actually depends a lot on the quality of Paneer. It affects the dish hugely.
@shibaprasad I've noticed that. The cheap paneer is very uniform and doesnt soak up any flavor, kinda bland. Home made is a bit chuny so has space to suck up a little flavor but more importantly just has more of a cheese like texture. Its one reason i make my own it really makes a huge difference. With that said There is some indian paneer in the grocery store here if you know where to look that isnt too bad for shelf-bought.
@freemo "The cheap paneer is very uniform and doesnt soak up any flavor, kinda bland."
Bullseye! Absolutely!
@shibaprasad To die for... the unauthentic indian places just make it like some sort of soup with cheese chunks in it. Not a fan of that style. But when made right with the cheese properly grilled up and everything it is soooo good!
