Hoping to enjoy the – Fish Creation – at Kabana (22 Back Turner St., Northern Quarter, Manchester M4 1FR England), Hector was back again today at 13.30. With Marg insisting she was not up for Curry-Heute, she was happy to spectate. There was no fixed rendezvous with any of The Company today, though Craig and Yvonne did let it be known that they had been here earlier.

Can I have the blandest thing on the menu? – may well have been Craig’s request. (Photo by Yvonne.)
Rizwan apologised, still no Fish. There was only one thing for it – Lamb Karahi (£6.50) on-the-bone with Rice (£2.00). It has been two days since this Curry was reviewed at Kabana. Actually, one, if Mags’ comment from yesterday is read.
Can this Curry be this good?
This is Visit #55!
I suggested Marg have a Samosa (£1.50). Suddenly there was a demand for two, with Salad (£0.50). One of each Samosa was ordered – Meat and Vegetable.
I’m now describing the Kabana Lamb Karahi as legendary – I advised Rizwan.
It’s not rocket science – was his modest reply.
We could all start with the same ingredients and each have different outcomes.
Such is the reality of preparing Curry.
The Samosas were being kept warm in a glass display oven, typically used to store pies. I took the Samosas over to Marg.
Samosa
A decent size, and well filled, they didn’t last long. I suspected the abundant Spiced-Onions may prove to be too much.
A lovely change from a rich Curry. A meaty plus a potato & peas Samosa, complemented the Salad and Raita sauce. I didn’t fancy the Spiced Onions.
Mags arrived and ordered the same as yesterday: Lamb Karahi – on-the-bone and a Chapatti (£1.00).
Lamb Karahi on-the-bone
For Hector, same as Monday.
For Mags – same as yesterday, marvellous!
Dr. Stan then made his entrance. Kabana on consecutive days? Unheard of. Rice & Three (£8.50) was once again his Order, but a different – Three.
Rice & Three
Daal, Keema and Lamb Karahi.
There were a few audible – Mmmmms.
No more was forthcoming. However, Marg summarised the moment:
It becomes a highlight, then it’s gone.
The Bill
£12.00 for Marg and Hector.

The Aftermath
A Glasgow-bound, single portion, Takeaway was secured.
I wonder what it might be and when it will be consumed?
