Topic: Bawarchi, GX Posted: 04 April 2006 at 1:24pm |
I had takeaway from here on Friday, and it was the first time I had been in since it has been refurbished. They've changed the layout and given the place a much more modern look with big chocolate coloured padded chairs and soft lighting. The portions were smaller than I remembered, but the madras had lots of taste and heat. The sag paneer was melted properly too

You are slightly obsessed with the meltiness of Sag Ponir
The Sag Ponir in the Tabla has melted cheese and squares of cheese in it as well.

Yes, that is true!! It's only because so many places don't make it properly!!

I've nver eaten it - what is Sag Paneer? Presumably something with spinach and cheese? And how does it need to be melted?

Still don't know what I want to do when I grow up...

Sag paneer is spinach with paneer which is an indian cheese. The cheese
is made by mixing milk and lemon juice, then separating the curds. This
creates a very firm, hard flavourless cheese that is used in Indian
cooking. What you will find however, if you ever buy and cook paneer,
is that it doesn't melt - it is impossible to melt. You fry it in a
similar way to halloumi. So, if the Bawarchi paneer melts, then it
isn't really paneer - the chunks of cheese are paneer, the melted
cheese is probably something non authentic made to appeal to Westerners
tastes. I had the sag paneer from Bawarchi once and it is not nice!
it's like eating indian food smothered with melted cheddar

Oh well, it's nice anyway. And has lots of flavour IMO.

We had a meal here on Saturday which was lovely!
We went quite early (6:45) as MR RPTA was hungry and there were already a few other diners in there which I was surprised about. In CSP Indians, they seat us in the window to make it look busier!
By 8pm when we left the place was full up and there were people waiting for tables so I think we will book next time.
Highly recommended!

I now know how you stay so slim, RPTA - its all those Indians you eat...the food never stays inside long enough to put down fat cells!

Really? That's where I'm going wrong - I don't eat Indian food.
