Hector is home, albeit for a few days only. The metabolism has to be brought back to the Hector-norm. This can only mean Curry-Heute. Tomorrow’s Goshat Karahi at Yadgar is already arranged, however, at the New Karahi Palace (51-53 Nelson Street, Tradeston, Glasgow, G5 8DZ) one can walk in off the street and be served their interpretation in a quarter of an hour.
The staff were all dressed in garments appropriate for the day. Qaiser offered a Menu then retreated to talk to Chef Rashid. One Chapatti to start. Two other Chaps sat at the adjacent table. Their Lamb Curry came before Hector’s, this was a more straightforward Curry, the Masala was more abundant and thinner than the Karahi Gosht that was being prepared.
No quantity had been mentioned, Rashid simply assumed the Half-kilo. The level of anticipation, three weeks since my last visit here was such that there was no complaint on my part. Time to wade in.
The Lamb, on-the-bone was as delightful as ever. The Bones were welcome, not only for the extra Flavour they add, but to make tackling this Dish a manageable endeavor. I could sense my Fellow Diners having a glance at the Hector Excess – who does this guy…
One Dips into the Thick Masala with the Chapatti, joy…. the Seasoning, the Spice, the Methi.
Sheer Delight
People simply do not know what they miss. Come along, have a go. This is Curry.
The Bill
£14.40. Half-kilo and Two Chapattis.
The Aftermath
There was a sharp exit. It is Saturday afternoon, what comes next?
