Curry heaven
Easter weekend was spent DIY-ing and my folks were fantastic in helping. We finished up late on Monday evening and I said I'd treat us all to an Indian takeaway. My dad loves Lahore and often stops off on his way back from the gym at lunch to scoff down a cheeky curry. That I night I popped down, it was busy but as usual there were tons of staff hanging around to take orders. I ordered nan bread, chicken madras (I desparately wanted a hot curry having been disppointed with numerous curries that were not hot enough), and prawn karahi. I sat down at one of the tables and waited for the food to be prepared. I did not realise how torturous this was until about 5 minutes into waiting. I should have brought a book - I could only stare at the delicious curries and sundries tempting me under the glass counter and watch people put mouthful after mouthful of deliciousness into their stomachs. 15 minutes later it was ready - i paid £12 and rushed back home. Food was great - definitely could taste the fresh ingredients such as ginger and corriander, and the madras was suitable hot. It made the wait worthwhile.
