Indian Food!

I went to Cafe Tandoor for dinner last night and it was awesome! It was so good that I ate the leftovers for lunch and dinner today. I was convinced I didn't like Indian food because I had something with curry once and didn't like it, but Derrick works with a lot of guys from India and they made some food for him to take home so I could try it. I'm hooked! It's probably one of the fattiest foods I've ever ate since it has a lot of butter and cream, but the flavors are so different from anything I have ever had before it's like a party for my mouth. Here's what I ate:

Garlic Nan - Nan topped with garlic and butter (Nan is kinda like pita bread without the pocket)
Saffron Pullao - Basmati rice steamed with spices and saffron threads
Chicken Shahi Korma - Boneless breast cooked in a mild cashew cream sauce
Butter Chicken - Marinated chicken in a fresh, creamy tomato and butter sauce

It was served family style which was cool because Derrick and I each picked an entree and split them. If you've never tried Indian food before, you should really give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised.
