Who can resist a Mother Butter chicken curry? I Shere Khan't This week a bunch of us visited Mowgli in Miller Arcade in Preston City Centre. It occupies
, but without the spiced water. They were deliciously tangy and it was a bonus that they were served pre-filled, because there’s nothing sadder than smashing one into shards of crushing, unfillable disappointment because of a bungled attempt at tapping a hole in the top.The fish curry was exactly as described on the menu, sharing the same tangy tamarind theme as the chat bombs but with a kick that would possibly be too much for someone who doesn’t like the heat.
The second curry was green ginger and rhubarb dhal: “tangy and sweet green mung lentils simmered with cumin, ginger and rhubarb”. It surprised me by being my favourite. I wouldn’t have chosen it if I’d read it on the menu as I’d have been put off by the tame description. Combined with the addition of almonds it sounded suspiciously similar to a korma, which in many UK chain restaurants means adding some flecks of curry powder and a can of Red Bull to a tin of custard.
The only thing that marred our visit was that all of the food in the office worker’s tiffin came to the table vaguely warmish – not hot – so it became cold and less enjoyable long before we were half way through.
