Curry
A curry is a term employed in the Western culture to denote a large number of South Asian dishes. Their common feature is the incorporation of more or less complex combinations of spices and/or herbs, usually (but not invariably) including fresh or dried hot chillies.
In the original traditional cuisines, the precise selection of spices for each dish is a matter of national or regional cultural tradition, religious practice, and, to some extent, family preference.
Curries may be either "wet" or "dry." Wet curries contain significant amounts of sauce or gravy based on yoghurt(yogurt), coconut milk, legume purée (daal), or stock. Dry curries are cooked with very little liquid which is allowed to evaporate, leaving the other ingredients coated with the spice mixture.
Madras Chicken Curry
Said to originate in 1640 in the city of Madras (now known as Chennai). The name Madras Curry was invented in Britain. A red coloured curry with toasted spices, with the smoothness of yogurt/coconut milk and the sour-sweet fruitiness of tamarind; a slight liquorice flavour of anise, ginger and a range of other spices.

I had a bad experience with my non veg thali today. Contrary to my request for very mild food, it was extremely spicy hot which made me sweat immediately. Food was returned. I had also ordered a dozen samosas.
I paid by credit card. Later when I checked the bill, I found that restaurant had also charged me for my food. I went back and on my protest received my refund. According to the cashier i had to pay since the thali was prepared for me. Not a commendable policy.
L'un des restos préférés de plusieurs de mes amis. C'est d'ailleurs grâce à eux que je l'ai découvert. Très populaire comme endroit. Les plats sont délicieux. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. J'adore leur poulet au beurre et leur palak paneer. Et on peut y apporter notre vin!
