Tonight was my last supper...well, my last supper home this summer. I leave to fly back to Indiana tomorrow so we took one final night out as a family. I chose the restaurant Saffron Indian Kitchen on Montgomery Ave. in Bala Cynwyd, PA. We walked into a small, crowded room and were led to a small table on the left side of restaurant with a view of the outside world. We ordered a vegetable curry in a brown sauce, chicken Tikka Masala, lamb Roganjosh and Tandoori chicken. My dish, the vegetable curry was filled with fresh green snap peas, jagged-edged cuts of zucchini and carrots, a single pale white piece of cauliflower, a couple heads of dark green broccoli and a handful of chickpeas all doused in the brown curry sauce. The spices of the soupy curry were so powerful, each spoonful was filled with a strong, tangy flavor leaving my mouth watering and my taste-buds lingering for more. After my first helping all I wanted was a second. I took a piece of bar-b-qued Tandoori chicken and combined it with my curry sauce and vegetables. The chicken was dry but it mixed perfectly with the liquid-curry sauce. The lamb Roganjosh was filled with spices of ginger and onion in a creamy plain yogurt and garlic sauce. The chicken Tikka Masala were pieces of cubed chicken in a tart tomato yogurt sauce. The four polar opposite dishes meshed very well together. This has been a foodylicious summer and I am looking forward to the treats waiting for me in Bloomington, IN. Keep your eyes pealed for the next blog post!
