sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 They were excellent. Well, I say excellent, but they were much better than the one's in the 80's and that's what counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30167 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 They were excellent. Well, I say excellent, but they were much better than the one's in the 80's and that's what counts. What was so bad about curries in the 80s? Curries were in severe decline during the 80's due to a lack of investment and ambition by the owners of the curry. All this changed in 1996 and we are to be forever grateful for that despite the fact that the majority of curry eaters now believe that curry has lost its direction and perhaps needs to new leader in to revive its fortunes. However those who want a change are incredibly short-sighted and don't realise that whilst things may improve they are more than likely to go disastrously wrong, we only have to look at the curries being made down the road to see that. To summarise we should all be thankful that we don't have the curries we had in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Leazes...I've tried a couple of them mate. Well pleased with them-some really good tips and the preparation guidance makes it all straightforward. I'd recommend anyone else tries them. Only changes I've made is decrease the amount of ginger puree in the base sauce and make up for that by putting a bit more chilli powder in the individual curry recipes. Only a minor adjustment to be fair - keeps the kick to it but just prefer the balance of the taste that way. By the way, if you get a chance can you pm me a recipe for how to do the tikka part of the recipes. Most of them say prepare as per tikka but there isnt an explanation for how to do that. I want to try a tikka masala. So far I've just been able to do the chicken curry/chicken korma (ie non tikka dishes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to try a tikka masala. So far I've just been able to do the chicken curry/chicken korma (ie non tikka dishes) I've sometimes put less ginger in them, I quite often use a bit more of something and less of something else, a lot of books use more garlic instead of ginger. I'll have a look at the tikka masala part, to be honest I've never made that one. I would imagine when saying prepare the tikka they mean marinade it or they might mean put it in the oven with silver foil over it, there are a few different techniques, I will have a look, but you could always look on the internet or in the library and see what different chefs and people do to prepare tikkas. Tikka Masala is the most popular dish so maybe one of the others will be able to help too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15347 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 nah I can safely say the Golden Bengali has gone down the tubes due to lack of investment, even the bogs are like they were 20 years ago, although the Rupali is better than ever since being taken over by new owners. It's basically just Latif's son who's taken it over in name and very little else, isn't it? Though at least the Lord now seems a little more aware of the need to provide some half-decent dishes off the beaten track of the half-dozen sauces you get in every other curry house (plus the Hell, of course). Just a shame the toilets are still so grotty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shame the toilets are still so grotty... I was in the Bengali a few weeks ago, and the toilets were - seriously - grotty [or crap!]. It's my birthday on Sunday so on Sat night we will be having an indian somewhere but not sure where yet, probably not the Rupali as although its nice its usually too full. Now and again when I am out I have a Dhansak but when I go somewhere new, I always have a vindaloo if I am in the mood, and judge it by its vindaloo, if they do the taste I like - which they used to do at the Bengali - then we will go again. We don't go mad with starters or side dishes because its too much but a side dish of aloo gobi is canny. I've seen the lads try to eat the curry hell and don't think I would try it, especially in Idols it looks reeeelly painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21052 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Went to a place called Komal's near the General hospital last week before the match. Was gorgeous but pretty pricey for an unlicensed restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
