| One of our favorite ways to spend an evening is to dine at the Popat family's Bombay Exotic Cuisine of India before seeing an art-house film upstairs at Hillcrest's Landmark Theaters. Start off with an Indian beer and warm cinnamon- and raisin-stuffed naan or the aloo paratha (a deep-fried whole wheat bread stuffed with mashed potatoes). Our favorite dish also happens to be chef Jagu's specialty, malai kofta (a southern dish consisting of vegetarian meatballs in a creamy curry sauce with cinnamon and nutmeg). Tandoori fans will love the mixed grill---it combines tandoori chicken and fish, yogurt-sauced chicken tikka and a ground lamb kabab. Other sure hits we recommend are the aloo gobi (cauliflower and baby new potatoes in onion gravy sauce) and the lamb korma (tender meat cooked with creamy saffron sauce, almonds and raisins). Don't forget the aromatic rices and complex chutneys (we prefer the tamarind to the mango). And the raita is top notch, too. Squeeze in dessert if you can: the rosewater-scented rice pudding hits the spot when the weather is chilly; in summer go for the light, fruity mango mousse. |
