Yesterday, I had a lunchtime tryst with the most amazing Chicken Tikka Masala that I've ever had! I can't stop thinking about that smoky, rust-colored sauce and those tender pieces of chicken, but really, it's the Sauce. While I was eating, my boyfriend had to point out that I was making little grunty noises of satisfaction with every bite. I tried to control myself. I'd close my eyes and could see the Ganges River, the history of food, the Dawn of Time. It was a Bollywood spectacular in my mouth. When I finished my meal, even though I was full, my mouth wanted more. I would have licked that little serving bowl clean if I'd been alone. And now, the depth of flavors, perfectly balanced, linger in my dreams.
I must have more.
your faithful servant,
me
NOTE: Kinara has a fabulous lunch special offered every day from noon-4pm. If you eat in-house during those hours, you get 50% off your entree. The Chicken Tikka Masala is normally $10.95, unless you're smart and have it for lunch. Who doesn't want to be smart? There are many other delicious items available, but there's a reason why my personal favorite is their #1 best seller.
Thankfully, there wasn't a crowd to hear my audible pleasure.
Everything, even the water, comes in copper.
I'm not a big pea fan, but doused in the Sauce, all becomes right in the world.
Like nectar from the gods.

Since my sister married a guy from Goa, (actually from Tennessee. His folks are from Goa) She learned to make vidaloo. It's awesome and worth the drive to San Clemente (for us, probably not from Brooklyn. It's good, not THAT good)
