Yesterday evening I went for a curry at the Karachi curry house in Bradford. I've never had a curry before so I had a mild one to see what it was like.
It is customary for the Karachi to serve you a small plate of dip with raw onion, tomato and cucumber before your starter or main. This is the equivalent of an Italian restaurant serving you bread and butter whilst you wait for your food. Raw onion is... interesting...
I didn't go alone of course, I was with a couple of my friends, one of which has been to the Karachi many times before. He recommended we started with the onion bhaji's. I can understand why, they were so crispy and delicious!
Next came our curry's. I decided to try the King prawn korma. It's allowed! I'm a shell-less mollusc. I am not related to prawns in any way!
Admittedly we were all full and we ate our food pretty fast considering there was no cutlery. Instead, we had Indian flatbread. I can't quite remember the name but you took a small piece of the flatbread and used it to pick up your food. In my case, it was to pick up prawns and scoop up source. Yummy!
Don't ask how I managed what I described above, I don't honestly know...
Besides being full, there was enough room for a sweetie, and I don't mean humbugs or jelly beans! The sweet we had were small sponge balls heavily soaked in syrup. Very sickly but so very mouth watering!
My very first curry and a brilliant one at that. cheap too, 3 course meal for 3 of us only cost £23.90!
