Masala Wok, Richardson

By
http://www.masalawok.com/pages/locate.asp#texas
This used to be a regular haunt of ours once upon a time. Of late, the food is not cooked well and the service is not that good either. A word of caution to the vegetarians out there, once a friend of ours had egg put on his vegetable biryani which was a shock for him.

Earlier the masala fried rice and chicken manchurian used to be a favourite with me. I tried out chicken spring rolls and masala wrap.

The spring rolls were tasteless whereas the chicken masala wrap had more vegetables(raw) than chicken. It looked more like someone had rolled up a nan with a chicken salad. Their tandoori wrap is quite "cheesy" and for a person who doesnt like cheese too much i had a tough time eating the wrap. It may be palatable without the cheese.
The chicken lollipops are overdone and huge in size that ultimately one feels they are eating chicken itself. The chicken biryani has been dry for the last two times we went there.
It looks like we will stop frequenting this restaurant soon.

Goals: Everyone has so many variations for making Pizza dough. I never realized the debate of Biga vs Poolish  dough making. Before we get into all the details, I set some goals. Type : I wasn't going for Neapolitan-style, very high-heat Pizza. The t...

Smoked " Tandoori"  Chicken  It has been five years since we purchased the Kamado Joe Classic Joe Series II 18-inch Ceramic Charcoal Grill and Smoker with Cart .
