It’s time to go and taste something different. 2 of my
French classmates, Ghada and Emma came with me this time. We went to have some Indian
food and we chose Little India restaurant for this little taste experience.
Our dishes were suggested by Emma, who has experience in
the different tastes of her country of origin. Such experience requires a
multicourse meal and I do not remember now which order they were brought to our
table.
We had a Meat combo. This dish has a combination of
Tandoori Chicken, Reshmi Kebab, Lamb Tikka, Prawn and Butter Chicken.
Meat combo. We can see the Tandoori Chicken, Reshmi Kebab, Lamb Tikka and Prawns.
Tandoori Chicken is a popular dish from Gujarat. The raw chicken is first marinated in a mixture of Yogurt and spices (that include garlic, turmeric, ginger and curry. Then it is baked. It was created by the founder of the popular chain Moti mahal Delux . Reshmi Kebab is a piece of meat grilled in charcoal fire. It has a roll shape. Our kebab was made of chicken.
