canadians refer to as curry powder is what you will find in an indian restaurant the term curry inlndian cooking is actually a generic reference to many dif i ferent spice blends that are as distinct in taste and fragrance as garlic powder is from cinnamon the menu at the indian kitchen is divided into 10 sections from appetiz ers to accompaniments for a complete indian meal experi ence be sure to include a choice from the rori indian bread section the bas- mati rice section and the humsafar accompaniment section for starters we tried the samosas twopef order which were much larger than the usual twobite samosas weve had elsewhere freshly prepared and stuffed vyith pleasantly spiced potatoes and peas they are ideal for sharing at 6nly395 with so many exciting dishes to try we couldnt linger on the appetizers long so we moved to the entrees arid accompaniments the murgh tandoori or tandoori barblcue chicken 995 is served on a sizzling platter and includes four large juicy pieces of bonein chicken and an assortment of fresh vegetables the chicken was coated in tradition al tandoori spices and had a heat level slightly higher than other tandoori chicken dishes ive sampled but was flavourful and delicious the gosht rogan josh a traditional kashmiri curry dish featured large pieces of boneless lean lamb in a thick i masaja sauce delicately enhanced with saffron i if you are brave you could try a lamb yindaloo which according to the menu is only for the very brave ive had vin- daloo before but if theyre going to take the trouble to warn you there is- also a nice selection of seaibod ranging in price from 1 i 95 to 1495 including poached fish fillets and shrimp dishes vegetarian delight vegetarians will delight in the selec tion at the indian kitchen there are 12
