I tried that little Indian restaurant near here again. The one I mentioned previously in this thread, the place called Saffron in Bala Cynwyd.
Btw, I was happy to find out that saffron is a spice derived stigma of the flower of the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus). Not only do I absolutely love crocuses, but anything with sativus in the name is OK with me.
So this time I had:
which in mere words would be:
appetizers:
garlic naan: leavened bread with garlic and cilantro
Peshawari naan: leavened bread stuffed with cashew, raisins, and topped with dry coconut
malai kofta: cheese and vegetable croquettes cooked in a light vegetable sauce
baigan bharta: whole egg plant smoked over charcoal and seasoned with herbs and spices
entres:
lamb korma: boneless pieces of lamb cooked in a rich almond and cream sauce
fish curry: haddock (what do you take for a haddock?) fillet with curry leaves, cumin powder, dry chilies cooked in the chef's special sauce (good goin' chef!)
The white wine was also pretty good. It was a bottle of Foley Sta. Rita Hills chardonnay 2007, Rancho Santa Rosa, which made me sort of miss rancho cucamonga but what the hell, at least I'm eating well.
The aftermath:
nothing but a bay leaf and a hunk of cinnamon bark
Plus if you look close, you can see the additional protrusion where the arrow is pointing so tomorrow it's back to the gym
