more tikka masala please

I've been working (as a consultant, since August 2019) on a consumer behaviour project focused on food choices of the low- to middle-income demographic in two eastern Indian states: Odisha and West Bengal. Because of this project, I have been exposed to Indian cuisine quite a bit. But after moving to the Bay Area, I haven't eaten Indian food in a long time, so I decided to do so right after my Week 30 OBGYN appointment. The restaurant within walking distance was Naan 'n' Curry, about 20 minutes away (by waddling, take note). I enjoyed its paneer tikka masala during my first visit, around four years ago, so that's what I opted to take this time around. 


And it's as good as I remembered it. It's not as spicy as the tikka masalas I've tasted in India, definitely, so it's kind to my belly... no post-lunch rumbling. The wee one wasn't complaining about the heat either (perhaps, because of the West African genes he's inherited from Val). I'd say, however, that I should have paired it with a chapati rather than with basmati rice. That's the combination I'll try next time I visit.
