Lal Qila, Carrolton, TX

We went here searching for pakistani food. I liked the mango lassi although it reminded me of the mango milk shakes/smoothies i used to make. The chicken kadhai and rumali roti was really good. The chicken biryani was mediocre, mild and oily.

The falooda was quite nice although different from what we get in India.

The video here shows you how to make falooda similar to what we had:

The samosas here tasted stale whereas the lal aloo and mixed chaat was good. Definitely worth visiting.

Egg roast recipe

While searching for idiyappam recipe on youtube, i came across the egg roast recipe and liked it especially since it does not use coconut milk and i can control the amount of oil used. We found it too spicy so you need to to tone down the amount of chilli powder and garam masala to your taste.

Idiyappam

I bought the Idiyyapam press from the Indian Supermarket, Irving.

There's a photo out there of something similar to what i bought and the attachment used for the Idiyappam.

Subway, Portland, OR

Parsi Dal recipe

Tired of making the same old dal, i tried out the parsi dal recipe from the following link:

http://www.indianfoodforever.com/daal/parsi-dal.html

It was quite good, a little too plain for my liking but definitely a good change.

Egg Biryani

I tried out this egg biryani and it came out good. I did not put in the peas. I found the spice to be a little on the lower side and if i do make it the next time i would add more chilli and garam masala.

Bangkok Palace, Portland, OR

We decided to have dinner here after returning from the Japanese gardens. The food was ok and i felt there was too much turmeric and the chicken was not cooked as well as i would i like it to be cooked.

The prices are affordable and the menu sounds good.
