Sunday 19 February
Our neighborhood has three Indian restaurants within a distance of one block. Which to choose for an informal arrival dinner with a job candidate? Kathleen eliminated Indian Tadka as an even more tired buffet than usual, and we eliminated Ambar India as tasting more like Ohio than India. So we went to Amol India, where dinner is fresh-made instead of buffet. They bill it as Northern Indian cuisine, though we think the people are Gujarati, and the dishes are pretty standard across Indian restaurants abroad.
We began with an appetizer platter of assorted pakoras, samosas, papadam, and other savory fried things. Our mains were Lamb Do Piaza ("double onions"), actually onions and bell peppers in curried tomato sauce, and sweet Chicken Makhani, which is like Tikka Masala but with more butter. We had a garlic and an onion naan, as well as plenty of rice to soak up the sauces. And of course a big beer each (Taj Mahal and Flying Horse) to cool the palate.
