One of the most warming feelings on a winter’s night is to
settle down on the sofa under a blanket with a big bowl of rich, decadent food.
The sensation of warm food hitting the palate and the smells absorbing the
senses helps you forget the dreary, cold climes outside the window. There are
few better types of food for this than Asian Cuisine. Asian Cuisine is based
around big, bold flavours and simplicity of eating; a bowl for your favourite
meat or vegetable dish and bread to dish it up. With a large Asian population
in the UK it is not difficult to find an Asian Restaurant to deliver to your
door. Here are a few of the best dishes to eat on a cold winter’s night.
Reputed to have been created as a mistake in Delhi when a
chef had ran out of many ingredients but was required to prepare a dish for a
VIP; Butter Chicken is a rich, creamy dish that is as versatile and it is
enjoyable. Generous portions of butter, tomato and various spices are added to a
chicken that has been slowly marinating overnight in a yoghurt and spice
mixture. The succulent chicken is perfectly accompanied by a naan bread.
Not quite as spicy as Vindaloo or Phall curries but still
packing a considerable punch; Beef Madras envelopes the consumer with an
instantaneous tingling taste. More flavoursome than its spicier counterparts,
Beef Madras concentrates on creating a taste sensation that is second to none.
Beef Madras is best enjoyed atop a bed of rice to counter the heat of the curry.
In the winter there is a tendency for many to overeat and
gain unwanted weight. For those worried about the calorific content of the
intake but still want to enjoy warming Asian Cuisine; the Tarka Daal is the
perfect dish. Gently spiced and filling split beans create an enjoyable and
warming stew without the unwanted calories.
