Chicken Tikka Masala

[biglucky]

FWIW, Fadhi's on Westheimer & Dairy Ashford will often have a dish they call "Butter Chicken Curry" which is essentially Chicken Tikka and it's AMAZING! Call ahead and ask, they don't have it all the time.

Butter Chicken is WONDERFUL...

Ah yes, Fadis also has a new Sugar Land location on highway 6 near the sugar land court and the new HEB. It has a drive thru.

And yes, butter chicken, AKA chicken makhni. Makkan means butter in Urdu, I imagine it means the same.

I can't help it, I love spreading knowledge about good food

How about sac paneer? No, not testicles, but cheese and spinach.

Good stuff. If done right and fresh. I have a Pakistani friend and this dish is what he judges all restaurants on.

Give M&M grill a try someday, they're on Almeda next to a tiny mosque. They're not exactly paki/Indian food, rather Mexican and Mediterranean, also normal American stuff, hence the name. Their double loaded cheeseburgers are badass. I might post a pic later.

Tikka is a starter for Indian food. I've had several dishes, but it's my fav. Be sure to get nan with it.

All this Tikka talk made me hungry.

There a place in N Plano called Masala Wok that has the best I've ever had.

I've never even heard of this dish but live in N Plano. I know where I'm going this weekend.

It's on Preston on the right, just before 121. Same strip center as Pei Wei.

I acutally went last night. Not bad. I've never had it before so can't give a comparison but it was pretty good.

I wasn't really big on it at first. But I tried a few different things, and have it once a month or so now.

Chicken Tikka Masala, "A true British national dish". Wikipedia says odds are the dish was invented in SCOTLAND.
I think it's pretty funny cause I'm Scots-Irish and Tikka Masala is my go-to entree at Indian restaurants. I always thought I liked Indian food, but really I guess I'm just a fan of food from the old country.
