Our film of the month for February is the fantastic Black Swan – yes, we know it’s been out a while but we had to recommend The King’s Speech last month! This is the type of film the atmospheric Dominion does better than any type of cinema. An intense film focusing around a production of Swan Lake and with a director with a reputation for obscurity – this is one that begs to be digested over a meal with your fellow movie goers!
Conversational Curry
Following a film like this we’d recommend starting any meal with a few Popadums, you can use big shards to help get your point across. After that – a curry with some spice to reflect the film and some fresh boiled basmati rice to let you mould your own white swan on your plate! Finally – if you haven’t managed to get your thoughts on the film across – order two naans and become a swan yourself.
A Tribute to the Biryani
In July last year, our Featured Dish was the great Chicken Tikka Biryani – and since then we’ve seen more of you order it and love it. For those of you who missed it, we’re going to take a step back and celebrate this king of Indian dishes all over again!
It’s difficult to know what is the best feature of this meal is. A biryani includes rice cooked with the meat of your choice and a vegetable curry spiced to your own specification. Should we celebrate the value for money – after all it is a meal in one? Should we celebrate the fantastic flavour created by the unique method of coming the meat and rice together? Or should we just celebrate the fact that this is an incredible dish and tell you to go and enjoy it!
A personal preference is to go for lamb as your choice of meat – our tender cooked lamb complements the dish to perfection – and then for a nice and spicy accompanying curry – after all – it is you who controls how much you have to have in each mouthful!
