Good dosas at Woodlands.
There are quite a few excellent Indian restaurants all over UK at the mo.

A waiter in Jaipur once advised me that I couldn't have it because it would be 'too spicey' for my honky ass. Eventually he was persuaded to bring it forth, and I ate it under the wondering gaze of half the kitchen staff who gathered at the door to watch my head burst into flames.Quote:

Well quite, the correct behaviour here is to simply ask the waiter to rustle you up another one and to bring 3 lagers.Quote:

I firmly believe that trying to recreate the full wonder of Indian food at home to be a waste of time. While one will prepare a perfectly nice meal, it is never really on the button.Quote:

I agree in principle, but the keema matar really is straightforward to recreate.Quote:

Wait, you have a tandoor? :love:Quote:

All you need to make Indian food as goos as in most of their restaurants is to buy Camelia Panjabi's 50 Great Curries of India and followe the recipes faithfully.
