On the last visit I said I would be back for the Fish Moilee (£7.99). The Prawn Kozhumbu (£7.99) is one for the future. Arriving at 15.00, Banana Leaf was empty. Chef was working away at the rear of the kitchen, greetings were exchanged. It was another Chap who took the Order. The price includes the choice of Rice, two Chapattis or a Paratha. Given the – Soupy Curry – served at Banana Leaf, Rice is mandatory. Given the Quality of the Paratha (£1.50) served here, one simply just has to have one. I asked for Tap Water, a Jug was duly provided.
The portion of Rice matched that which Marg and Hector shared midweek at Green Gates (Renfrew). This was a large portion for one person. The Parathas are on the small side, but for once a whole one can be eaten, even when accompanied by all this Rice. The Parathas are Wonderful at Banana Leaf, so Soft, Flaky, the Spiral, Light in colour and served – Whole! So tasty, abundant Ghee.
Fish Moilee
Six rectangular pieces of White Fish were decanted, the Quantity matched the realistic price being charged. The Masala was Creamy and had a highly visible Coconut content. Fortunately any Sweetness from the Coconut was masked by the hoped for – South Indian – Smoky Flavour. This was why Hector was here, the appetite for this cannot be sated presently. For the record, this Curry was way more than being just a Spicy Korma.
The Texture of the Fish was Perfect, far from the – rubbery – experience at Maharaja (Sliema) last week. Malta was a week ago, where next? With Fish Curry, one expects a powerful Flavour from the Fish itself, this was not the case here. 
The Fish just managed to give enough to avoid its presence being regarded as arbitrary. This Curry was all about the Masala. The Paratha and the Masala were made for each other, yet Hector still considers the Rice to be necessary. Perhaps one day a two Paratha option will be risked – Splash!
The Bill
£9.50 Not £9.49 then?
The Aftermath
There was no discourse with – the other Chap, he had never seen me before.
However, today is an historic day, the Fifth Visit, and so Banana Leaf is added to Glasgow’s Top Rated and therefore is also added to Hector’s Recommended Curry Houses.
