Thai Yellow Chicken *Well-balanced flavor curry, 

not overladen with coconut milk. A popular choice.

Indonesian Beef Rendang *Beautifully braised meat, with pieces falling

 apart so delicately. A good contrast of sweetness and warm spice. Another popular dish.

Kashmir Vegetable curry

Malabar Fish *Fish was a little on the dry side, but simmered

 in a warm, subtly-spiced curry which paired beautiful with jasmine rice.
