Mon, Sep 24, 2012
Anyone who passes by an Indian restaurant can attest to the delicious roasted aroma that surrounds the air, attracting hungry diners from blocks away who wish to enjoy an appetizing tandoor cooked meal. From meaty kebabs to vegetarian curries, there is an incredible selection of Indian food in NYC for any person to enjoy. Curry Kitchen, one of the most delicious and affordable Indian restaurants in West Village, welcomes guests to try one of these three popular Indian dishes:
- Chicken Tikka Masala – Chicken Tikka Masala is a yummy curry which consists of chicken that is marinated in mixed spices and yogurt and then cooked to perfection in a clay tandoor oven. This mild yet flavorful curry is the most popular dish in British restaurants and a favorite among fans of Indian food who prefer a less spicy meal. Other common variations of this dish include lamb, fish and paneer, which is a vegetarian alternative.
- Rogan Josh – A Kashmiri dish that can be literally translated as “red lamb,” Rogan Josh is a fragrant spicy lamb meal that is prepared with hot oil in a gravy of browned onions, yoghurt, garlic, ginger, cloves, dried chilies, cayenne, and traditional Indian spices, which gives the dish its fiery red coloring.
- Tandoori Paneer Tikka – Tandoori masala marinated chunks of soft, juicy paneer (cottage cheese) makes for an excellent vegetable alternative to meat and seafood curries, which is why Tandoori Paneer Tikka is such a popular dish among vegetarian diners. Curry Kitchen serves this appetizing homemade cottage cheese fresh from the tandoor!
