paneer tikka masala al IndLine - The Indian Cookery — Recensione di Nicholas Lee (3 ott 2017)

Imagine my delight when the dishes came. To be honest, I was a little disappointed when I noted the serving size of the paneer tikka masala. The garlic naan however came in two large pieces and I was so eager to get my hands onto those. I tasted the paneer tikka masala and to my delight, the spices of the curry really came together so well. The cottage cheese came in huge chunks in the curry, and the entire dish tasted excellent. I stirred my spoon around the curry and found pieces of vegetable, which really made the entire dish feel like I was eating a very fragrant stew. If I could make any improvements, I would have preferred a slightly spicier curry, but this dish was really fragrant and it was a delicious experience. This raised my expectations for the garlic naan which I greedily tore into pieces. I dipped my first piece and ate it with the curry (which was excellent) but when I ate the second piece by itself, I fell back disappointed. I was not an expert with naans, but it was burned, and not just at the extent of being slightly charred. I could detect a bitter aftertaste and the naan just tasted bad. I tried parts of it which were less burnt, and it was actually not too bad; I could taste the garlic in it. However the naan was a little too buttery and oily; adding on to the burnt parts of it and I could not bring myself to finish the dish.
