Last night we ordered Indian food with friends. In past we would have spent the day crushing curry leaves and grinding cardomon to get our own perfect spice blend, but 2 busy kids (and our nephew here for the weekend) just don't afford us the time.
So instead, we kept things simple. We went to BJ's supermarket in the heart of the Indian Bazzar on Gerrard and picked up some of their fresh pekoras and samosas. I then asked the proprietor what restaurant she would recommend, and she said Regency, also on Gerrard. If you go to the Regency website they have directions from a list of destinations including Buffalo and Detroit, which makes me think that Regency is a REAL destination restaurant! The food was delicious, and very reasonably priced. I would definitely order from there again.
Whenever we have curry my husband makes mango lassis, a traditional Indian drink that deliciously soothes the heat of curry with cooling yogurt and tangy mango purree. The recipe is below. Mango puree is available at BJs.
1 large tub of yogurt (low fat yogurt works fine)
1 can of mango purree (same sized can as diced tomatoes)
~500mLs of milk (low fat milk works fine)
Mix together with an emersion blender.
Drink and enjoy!
