Indian food. Sigh who doesn't like Indian food? I mean, maybe not everyone but as a Malaysian, I think that we've grown enough with Indian foods all around us that the probability of not liking their cuisine is pretty low. Regardless of race, everyone loves a good teh tarik time at Mamak or even a scrumptious hand feed banana leaf meal. Don't even get me started with the huge variety of naan, paratha, and etc. The choices are endless and honestly, I can't imagine the world without them.
And that is why these past few days have been really hard. LOL
I realised that I've been gaining so much weight last year so about a week ago, I've decided to start dieting again. I'll talk about that in another post but the reason why I'm writing this right now (it's 12.35am right now FYI), is that I am currently craving for a good Indian meal and I know it's an impossible dream right now. I need to stay focused on the diet! HAHAHA. This leaves me with just a few plausible choice to counter this intense hunger (and there is no way I'm breaking my diet plan in less than a week). Wanting to practice thinking out of the box, I thought why not just write about my last Indian food-venture last January. Maybe reminiscing would do something good to satiate my cravings (although I have a feeling this will backfire later).
It was a beautiful Saturday when my Althea colleagues and I visited Malgudi, a Fine Indian Cuisine Restaurant located in Section 16, Petaling Jaya. We are all such a huge Indian foods lovers, so we were already very excited to try some proper Indian cuisine for the first time! Malgudi is owned by an acquaintance of Tammy and after going through some rebranding, they wanted us to give some feedback and insights on the menu. Of course, it was such an honour for foodies like us so we gladly agree to the invitation! I really put a high hope on it especially when I learned that their chefs come all the way from India. Finally, I can try something really authentic and compare the taste to what we have here! With a huge variety of menu including Southern and Northern Indian meals (and there are menus for vegetarian too), I had such a pleasant time trying different foods. Without further ado, lets check them all out;
1. Bread and Rice Varieties
2. Starters & Rasam

3. Tandoor & Egg
We also had the Tandoori Chicken (RM 14) and an egg dish called the Egg Podimas (RM7). I just love love love the mint sauce that comes with the chicken. It's such an amaze-balls! I keep on dipping my Naan bread and the chicken into the sauce, I think I might have had eaten them all by myself! LOL. The girls are so nice to give most of it to me. Hihihi. Meanwhile, I think that the Egg Podimas taste nicest when it's being paired up with a plain white rice. This Indian version of scrambled fried egg is made with egg (obviously), onions, chilis and turmeric.

Now, this is something we all know. You can't go wrong with a good ol' fried chicken! This Lollypop Chicken (RM14) is so yummy and addicting I wish I can keep eating it forever. With a crispy outside and juicy inside, it's perfect to pair up with the Naan bread too!

Overall:
I find myself enjoying the meal so much that I can't seem to pin point any menu that I don't particularly like (that's a first in a long time!). That's how big of Indian food fan I am! If I am to pick my favourite dish out of all, I would say the Naan. I just love how crispy (yet so soft) they are. Other than that, I think the Bhindi Masala was really nice too. The ambience of the restaurant and the service are just first class and I love how clean the premise is. The prices of the menu are also affordable. I have a feeling that I might come back for a second round!
