At 16.58 yesterday, Shkoor of Yadgar posted an entry on a well-known Media Website.
Well hello there. I do believe we are back!
The interior renovations near completion, just the furniture to be upgraded, this was a good time to make those who do not read this Humble Blog aware of Glasgow’s finest source of Curry. A photo of Alloo Kofta followed soon afterwards. This was enough to tempt Hector there for an early afternoon snack.
Chapattis would be the acceptable accompaniment for the Shorva-style Masala. Shkoor had other ideas, Rice would come too. Meanwhile Hector had to fight his way through a Pile of Poppadoms with Spiced Onion.
The Window Seat
Mr. Anwar Sr. had tried to describe the plan for the window are on my last visit. A new Bench Seat has been constructed along the length of the window. This has already proved to be popular as Chaps in different Company both occupied their respective spaces. Getting people to voluntarily sit at the window, genius!
The Kofta was Light – Chicken? Shkoor was giving nothing away. Shkoor knows that this is far away from my standard Karahi Gosht. One has to try new things. The Trusty Samsung provided recipes for Vegetable Kofta – Potatoes – Paneer – Green Beans. I could not tell what I was eating. It was Spicy and the Cloves in the Rice gave a plateful of Flavour. The Chapatti was used to dip in the Masala that I left in the serving bowl.
As Shkoor passed by the analysis continued. I had to admit to thinking that Falafel were – Meat Balls – when I first encountered this delight in 1980. Shkoor finally revealed some Ingredients – Ground Chickpeas (Falafel!) and Onions. Still, there was something else. A Minimum of Chicken may have been present.
Whatever it was, it made a Pleasant Change. The Healthy Option.
The Bill
There was one, I paid it.
The Aftermath
The window seats were finally vacated, a Photo Opperchancity.

Not one prone to be alarmist – BUT – another bit of chicken has passed the mouth of Le Hector. The times they are a changing – was that Pete S ?. Still only a couple of weeks to go before the big farewell. More time for Desi style curries I suspect !!!. I’m off to St Petersburg next week – anyone know of a good curry shop in that neck of the woods ?. Should I call Mr Putin for advise ?. Will try n catch up with the blog while I’m away. Chicken – bah humbug.
Hector replies:
Chicken is haunting Hector these days.
