It is Day two of the Glasgow Real Ale Festival (G-RAF 2016), after a four hour stint it was time for a break. Hector’s dinner was picked out yesterday at the New Karahi Palace (51 – 53 Nelson Street, Glasgow, G5 8DZ) – Aloo Keema Mutter.
Qaiser was again behind the counter when I entered at 18.15. I verified that the Keema was Lamb and not Chicken. The entire tray of Aloo Keema Mutter was handed over to Chef Rashid, this was one of the Daily Specials, a reheat job. A Chapatti would accompany.
I took my choice of seat, same as yesterday, and caught up with the crazy goings on. It appears that many of those who voted for Brexit now admit that they did not know why, or appreciate the consequences. Can we vote again? St. Nicola of Scotland will subsequently be calling for a second Scottish Independence Vote – Yes2.
In the time it took to make the Chapatti, the Meal was ready and brought over. It was strange to be eating from a Bowl instead of my normal Karahi. The Large pieces of Potato and the Liberal Fresh Coriander stood out, here we go. Mince, Potatoes and Peas, it’ll never catch on. There was the most Minimal Oil present, and no Masala, as Dry as Curry can be, however, there was still an underlying Moistness, Perfect.
The Seasoning was the first feature to register, then the Spice. This Keema was Spicy, not for the faint of heart. The Flavour was Wonderful, there must have been Methi in there too. As the Chapatti disappeared the realisation dawned, I could eat the same again. I didn’t.
The Bill
£6.70. A modest fee for a modest meal.
The Aftermath
Back to the Festival, tomorrow I must eat somewhere else.
Meanwhile through in Edinburgh, Marg’s Scotland Veterans Hockey Team have drawn 1-1 with the Irish.
