April 8, 2010, the day of the first postings on Curry-Heute. A generic posting on the still excellent Indian Mango in München kicked things off. That day marked the first ever visit to Café Salma which has sadly gone. Yadgar was still a few weeks in the future.
A visit to München followed days later, the year of the eruption of Eyafjallajökull, the Icelandic Volcano that grounded ‘planes across Europe. Hector was in Iceland days ago and gazed upon this very land mass. München beckons next week. Marg and Hector are due to meet up with Hassan of Café Salma in Casablanca this summer. What goes around…
There could only be one Glasgow Curry Venue chosen for the Celebratory Curry. Dr. Stan would join Hector at 14.00 at what this Blog promotes as Glasgow’s Finest Source of Curry – Yadgar (148 Calder St., Govanhill, Glasgow, G42 7QP). The request to be fed was emailed to Shkoor, Mein Host, as I dined in Reykjavik last Saturday at Shalimar. Scottish Haddock would precede the Richest of Lamb Karahi. This is combination of Starter and Main Course has been described in this Blog frequently in the last few years. One does not eat before, or after. This is it for the day.
The Spiced Onions, Poppadoms and Salad were brought to the table. Black Olives, Pickled Green Chillies and Cherry Tomatoes featured in the Salad, along with The Green Stuff.
The arrival of The Fish completed the Starters. Haddock, baked in Spices, astonishingly Light and Flavoursome. Once we were introduced to this there was no going back. And all this before the delivery of the Kilo of Goshat Karahi on-the-bone.
Shkoor placed the Large Karahi in the middle of the table – Are you bringing out Dr. Stan’s?
With the bone content it is possible for two to share this, just. Sublime.
Shkoor – Do we need to say anything?
The Bill
£30.00. Not Aberdeen or Reykjavik prices.
The Aftermath
Mr Anwar Sr. came over for a chat. I put it to him that one could not eat such a Rich Curry everyday. He agreed. He spoke of – diluting – the Meat with an Array of Vegetables, but not Potatoes. Dr. Stan has agreed that next time will will order a Kilo of Daddy’s Karahi.
Shkoor shook his head. We shall see.
Thank you
Dear Reader, thanks for your continuing support. It is great to communicate and even meet up with The Curryspondents. Stephen has advised of a new Afghan Restaurant around the corner from Yadgar, here we go…
