Indian Food

Have you ever had Indian food?  I had not, until last night.  Me and a couple of friends, who happen to enjoy Indian food went to a little local spot close to our hood.  I let Ashley and Sheri give me some pointers and we asked some questions of the nice young waiter.  What we ended up with was a table full of food that was so, so, sooooo good!  Where has Indian food been my whole life?

I did not get a picture until we were well on our way to sharing and sampling all the things.  Let me give you a quick tour in case you are an Indian food novice like me.

This is Tandoori Chicken which is cooked in a super hot Tandoor oven and it was spicy and juicy and really, really flavorful.  And that green spicy sauce it is served with was A+.

Garlic Nan.  I love you. 

This right here is Gobi Manchurian - it is some kind of fried cauliflower covered in some kind of magic (you would think after all the FoodTV I have watched I would be able to come up with something more detailed than "some kind of fried cauliflower with some kind of sauce!").  This cauliflower was really, really good and my absolute favorite thing I tried.  I am sure it is terrible for you because it was so dang good.  

If we would have had a drone in the restaurant, this would have been the drone overhead view of our table.  The dishes in the bowls that I haven't mentioned yet are Navratan Korma and Chicken Tikka Masala - both were excellent and had such interesting delicious sauces.  It is all about the sauce and the spice.  I am a fan and will definitely be back!  So much more to try!   

Then we went back to Ashley's and played Yahtzee.  You know I love me some Yahtzee!  Plus, there was pie and ice cream and an excellent cup of coffee in a little white mug.  Happy town.  

Fun nights thrown together at the last minute are the best.
