Classic-Butter Chicken
The taste is pretty good, though definitely on the bland side for butter chicken. Also, serve it with rice, not naan! Clearly it’s too difficult to keep the naan from getting wet (condensation is a thing) and turning into bread mush. Serving it with rice instead solves the problem and is (in my opinion) a much better alternative. Or just do the butter chicken by itself and I’ll add my own rice.

South Indian Chicken Varuval
It's just too spicy for me. Tastes delicious, but I'm dying, sweating, sinuses in full revolt.

Paneer Lababdar
Very good flavours and a welcome option when i don’t feel like meat. Being a cilantro hater i pick as much of the garnish off as possible, but other than that love it!
