How wonderful is curry? I just love, love, love it. It's one of my favourite meals to have out, especially in a social context with lots of friends.
There is nowt better that a group of friends chewing the fat over a heaving table of naans, pilau rice, steaming curries, dahl and Asian larger, as we did with our neighbour last Saturday.
We started the evening off with cocktails in our local posh brasserie, Joanna's. It's a great place to eat as well and their cocktails are sublime. Proper stuff, not all this nonsense with masses of fruit juice, which dilutes the alcohol. We opted for classic and simple - a mint julep, cosmopolitan and mojito.
And then for curry. Everyone has a local curry house they recommend, don't they? Our favourite local place is the Gurkha Cottage, which is actually Nepalese. We always order the same as well. Gurkha chicken, which is a variation on butter chicken, mixed kebab starter, momo balls, rice and sometimes a naan, plus lots of Gurkha beer. As our neighbour is vegan, we ventured into new territory and tried a few select veggie dishes, which were divine.
It's cheap, cheerful and you get a free sherry at the end. It's just the walk back on an incredibly full stomach that's the bugger!
