Awful just love love loves Northern Indian food. Awful just adores papadoms, naans and chicken tikka. Awful eats at Delhi Restaurant often. Many times in fact.

On Wednesday night, the parents and I went to eat at Delhi. It is a favourite place for the family. We have the Delhi card also. I always want to eat the same because my taste in food rarely changes, sometimes I like to try something new but that is rarely and I always fall back on good old staples.

On the menu:
* Papadoms with mint sauce and assorted garlic, onions in a tiny dish drenched in a clear seasoning is the appetizer. Papadoms are my favourite snack. More than chips and sometimes beats out cheesy things. I think the papadoms at Delhi are oven baked and not fried because when you break them into pieces in your hands, they do not leave a greasy residue. And the papadoms you get here are always in a whole piece and not those mass manufactured papadoms that are broken before you can break them.
* Chicken tikka. Good old chicken tikka that I always must have here or at any other Northen Indian restaurant. Seasoned with tandoori sauce and skewered like kebabs, this chicken is juicy and very very good.
* Delhi prawns are another favourite order here. Shelled prawns save for the tail that are slightly battered and cooked in a thick peppery sauce. The prawns are just the right touch of spicy if they are just covered and not flooded with the pepper sauce. The prawns are big and not the glass prawns that restaurants like to pass off as real prawns with their salads or pastas.
* Fried fish. We have never tried this before. I am not fond of fish. At all. Only seafood. Anyway, there were four thin slabs of fish seasoned with this muruku sauce (it tasted like muruku alright), no bones were the saving grace. I like muruku but not fish.
* Garlic naan. They are not that fluffy but they are only baked when you order them. Pieces of garlic adorn the slices. One slice is huge. The size of a normal person’s head but bigger. One slice is cut into four parts. Garlic naan is like garlic bread. But more heavenly. Especially at Delhi where it is freshly baked and warm when it comes to you.

Awful always has a good time at Delhi Restaurant.
