Will the real Chicken Korma please stand up?
I love Indian food! Well, actually, I have a real problem with hot stuff, so I really dont love it. But I do love Chicken Korma.
There is a hole in the wall restaurant near where I live that has the most incredible Indian food. My favorite dish is Chicken Korma. Here, they make it with a nice rich sauch - they use a nut past, spices, though not a lot of chili or tomato. I have ordered Korma at many other places, and what I get is invariably different. It usually takes one of two forms: One is a cream and nut mixture, with what seems to be little spice. The other is what I would call Mahkni (sp?), with chili and tomato, and usually pretty thin. Neither of these is anythig like what I order at India Cafe.
So, who is in the wrong here? Does my restaurant have it wrong, and I should be ordering something else when I go to other restaurants? Or is Korma just something they tend to mess up a lot in this country?
