Two days without Curry, this had to be rectified. Also, Hector is back in his Homeland for at least two weeks, time to revisit the favourite haunts.
The number of visits to Karahi Palace (51 – 53 Nelson Street, Tradeston, Glasgow, G5 8DZ) is becoming close to – #100 – a target which should be reached before the end of the year. Somehow I don’t think the celebration will be comparable to – Yadgar #100 – earlier this year.
Qaiser – The Chef
Walking in to Karahi Palace just before 15.00, I was shocked to see Qaiser in Chef Rashid’s spot wearing an apron. What on earth was going on here?
Are you cooking? – I called to the back kitchen. It was then I spotted Chef Rashid behind the Donner Grill. Qaiser came out to take my Order.
I can cook Karahi, but not when he’s (Rashid) here.
We’ll see, but hopefully not too soon.
Lamb Karahi (£7.90) with extra Methi.
One Chapatti (£0.70)?
Sorted. Today there was no Water or Modest Salad provided. The Chap who had been at my favourite table soon left, two other Chaps took the mid-room table. It was quiet today.
The Donner Grill – I have never been aware of this being in use at Karahi Palace.
Lamb Karahi
Hot, Sizzling, Mountainous – I have posted videos of this before, so do not feel the need to do so every time. However, this was just magnificent to watch, worthy of recording. The Portions at Karahi Palace appear to becoming larger in recent months, but then one has to take account of the pile of bones which will be amassed.
The Chapatti was Light and Fluffy, it disappeared in record time. I should have ordered another, but why add more carbs?
I used a spoon to bring the separating Oil back in to the glorious Masala Mash. The intensity of Flavour from this Masala never fails to astonish. I have done well this week with two new discoveries in Belgium: Chilli Grill (Brussel) and Punjab Tandoori (Gent), it is good to be home. The Quality and Diversity of Curry served in Glasgow beats all.
The Meat was mostly Lamb Ribs, with the occasional – Sucky (Leg) Bone. The Meat, whilst Firm, was as Tender as can be. This was easily the best Lamb I have had this week. Everything was – Perfect – here: Spice, Seasoning, Temperature, Quantity.
One day the masses will be brave enough to cross the threshold of Karahi Palace.
The Bill
£8.60. The least I have paid for Curry this week.
The Aftermath
I attracted Chef Rashid’s attention as I departed – a silent applause.
Just made…
