indian feasts

We go through regular food obsessions - Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese - but Indian remains a constant.  While we regularly debate the merits of masala dosa v chicken dosa (my choice), luckily our choices of dish align on almost everything else.

Manjits in Balmain is an institution within the Indian community in Australia - and has one of the largest catering businesses to boot as testimony to their ability to consistently deliver food that tastes the way it should. Plus, it's on the "must visit" list for English personalities and cricketers looking for genuine Indian away from home.
I try, time and time again, to choose something new but I'm a sucker for the mixed entree, particularly because of the succulent, smokey, juicy tandoori lamb cutlets (chewing the carmelised bone is required!).  Oh, and the bhaji, and, and, and...

Manjits Shahi Paneer is one of my favourite indian leftovers for breakfast.  crunchy cashews, creamy paneer, chili.

and while I'm not a dessert person, the decision to offer a "taste of India" is tempting, and removes the opportunity for that second "just a taste" spoon.

the staff know their food (and are brilliant with allergies) and Manjit and son, Varun, keep everything chuffing along as it should.
