indian food
Chutney is usually served with poppadams which are the indian version of tortillas but crispy and may be spicy, they usually come with 2-3 dips or chutneys to use. The most popular is mango chutney and I love it, its like a savory jam or jelly with bits in. This is a starter mostly.
Some popular dishes are chicken korma which is a creamy mild curry, chicken tikka masala which is chicken cooked in a slightly spicier sauce. ( my american friends like this one), prawn bhuna which has a tomato based sauce ( i think). Rice is usually basmati and is served as a side, I prefer a Naan bread as my side tho'. Vindaloo is hot and can be extremely hot so much so that I can't eat it! If you like beer Indian beer is pretty good, especially Tiger or Kingfisher. Hope this helps.
