The delicious meal we enjoyed included a Spicy Lentil dish (front), Murg Chicken Tikka Masala(back left), Pilau Rice (back right)& some Naan BreadWe had a lovely Mother’s Day lunch out yesterday, in a town which lies almost at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro. The restaurant we went to, is one we’ve gone to for years now … their menu boasts “Indian, Chinese & Western” cuisine. The “Western” part of the menu includes things like hamburgers, toasted sandwiches, chips (French fries) and omelet’s !
Unfortunately their Chinese chef was ill yesterday, so we had a choice of either “Indian” or “Western” food. We opted for the Indian and I’ve posted the photo above, so that you can see what we ate …
My husband had their Murg Chicken Tikka Masala and I had a Lentil dish described on the menu as “Tender lentils cooked in a gravy, with tomato’s and Chef’s secret blend of spices”. We shared a portion of Pilau rice with that, and some buttered and garlic naan bread. We shared everything between us, and it was all delicious - our daughter enjoyed the rice and a toasted cheese sandwich as the curry dishes would’ve been too hot for her.
Pilau spices (or Pilau ‘Masala’) can be bought here in Tanzania ready mixed and usually include ground Cummin seeds, Cloves, Cardamom, Cinnamon and Black Pepper. Added to rice with some vegetables (the pilau rice we ate yesterday contained onions, green beans, cauliflower and tomato) it makes an easy and tasty accompaniment to any meal !
