Indian Cuisine North & South: Takeaway Meals at 2 Far Flung Indian Eateries

March 5, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

When I was a relatively broke graduate student living in New York City, I would treat myself, occasionally, to meals at the dirt-cheap Indian restaurants that lined East 6th Street in the East Village. Dinner with drinks could be had for seven bucks or so and I developed an addiction to searing hot and spicy Indian fare. Of course, Indian cuisine isn’t necessarily spicy; much … [Read more...]

Butter Chicken Recipe

January 21, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Butter chicken is a very popular Indian curry dish that is also called murgh makhani. The chicken is smothered in a creamy curry sauce made with vindaloo spice mix, which can be purchased at stores and online such as at Penzeys Spices. This recipe is largely based on one shared by Andrew Zimmern in Food & Wine. You’ll want to get a head start as the chicken needs to … [Read more...]

Chicken Korma Ansari Recipe

February 21, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Aziz Ansari is one of my favorite actors/comedians. You might have seen him doing stand-up or in a show like Master of None or Parks and Recreation, among others.

This isn’t quite as “saucy” as typical … [Read more...]

It’s a terrific opportunity to sample some dishes that might not appear on the regular Saffron Valley restaurant menus. The festival features, as you might have guessed, kebabs and biryani.

Curry Pizza: Indian Food + Pizza = Love at First Bite

September 17, 2018 by Chase SLCFoodie Leave a Comment

When I first visited Curry Pizza, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The setup is much like the thin crust pizza shops around town, however, a quick look at the sauces and you will know you are no longer in Kansas, Dorothy. Honey Curry, Mango Korma, Tikka Masala, Green Mango Curry, and of course, Makhani; aka butter chicken! We all know this is everyone’s favorite starter Indian … [Read more...]
