Guest smc01 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 You can't be that proud.... you live in surrey :twitcy:...quote] I'm on my way back!! Over here on the working visa which is a rite of passage for all Australians!! We're all going to miss what we've grown up with, you get used to a certain taste being 'normal' and when you taste differently it seems it must be wrong! Am sure there are plenty of Indians in both UK and Aus who are complaining that neither of us do it right! :nah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing the point it still won't be the same as what I'm used to back home, so therefore in my opinion still won't be 'real' curry!!

You have been brought up on curries tailored to the Australian palate which is much sweeter curries than what you get in India or some restaurants in the UK....I see what you mean.

gparkes Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I also live in sanctuary lakes, Apparently the curry house opposite werribee plaza will cook a curry " English style" if you ask them to, one of my friends went and were very happy with it. Also a good thai take away is fresh chilli in the shops by airport station and they deliver to sanctuary lakes. we have had numerous take outs from there and very happy. Take aways seem very expensive though so we don't do it very often Hope this helps a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckbuchanan Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I thought I would put my money where my big mouth is.... went and got a takeaway from The Crown in Werribee tonight. I have to say it was ok... not brilliant, but it was edible, and for the first time since I arrived here I actually managed to eat it all. So, thanks for that tip. Next time I fancy a curry I will happily go there. One thing to note is you need to ask for breast of chicken otherwise you will end up with giblets and feet (which is what they normally put in your food here). I also asked for it to be authentic english and it definately had a bit of a kick. Have to say though..... been to Roti Boti and wasn't impressed. The best indian in the world contest can't have had many applicants that year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olly Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I make my own curry at home, then I only have myself to blame if it is yuck. Haven't poisoned anyone yet. If some people look like their dogs, I am in trouble................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a chicken korma and it was breast, maybe that's just luck, but I didn;t need to ask for breast in that instance. If you are looking for hot, try the Biriani, my friend had it there and let's just say needed an awful ot of water !!! :arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
