Neal Savage and I went to see The Hundred Foot Journey….about an
Indian family who moved to France….they owned a restaurant in India…so decided
to start a new one in France…just across the street from the big One Star
Michelin restaurant.
About half way through the movie I was thinking that all the
good food in the movie was making me think about maybe Indian food…just as Neal
leaned over and said, “I am beginning to think that we should have Indian food
for dinner.” And so we did.
We went to Sitar…we ordered the buffet…Neal had the Marsala Chicken add on…and I had a
Tandoori Chicken add on…both dishes were marinated chicken cooked in a clay oven with
lots of spices and herbs….but each tasted completely different…very good. Off the buffet we tried Daal Tadka – yellow
lentils with special spices…I really liked this…also tried a red bean
mixture…and I loved that..went back for seconds…tried a chickpea fritter… and dish that I didn’t get the name... was like a stir fry
with okra…it was my least favorite…but then I don’t like cooked okra…but of all
the cooked okra I have tried this was the best…rice with peas..and flatbread. What I liked the best about the Indian food
is the use of the spices…delightful eating….plus it is just darn good.
We shared a Mango Lassi – a yogurt drink served with mango
pulp.
