Father's Day Dinner

When we were in CA for the summer, we were always on the hunt for the best food we could find!  We love Indian food so researched (via internet and locals) about the best Indian around!  The Amber India Restaurant in Mountain View was the recommendation so we hooked up the Burley and biked there...the anticipation made the ride seem even longer than it actually was and the ride home was much, much slower because we were stuffed with the best food ever!  Their Butter Chicken (aka chicken makhani) was award-winning and so I had to have it.  Truly, the best I've had (even though you had to pay separately for rice...and yogurt...and rice pudding...typically all included in the meal around these parts).  The article and recipe was posted on their wall so we embarrassingly took photos with our phones so we could taste the lovely dish someday in windy Wyoming.  Father's Day was the perfect celebratory occasion.  



I had to get naan from the local Indian restaurant to complete the meal...I've made it before but it just isn't the same.

The verdict was...great flavor but not the same consistency...don't over-do it on the cream.  Definitely best to do the chicken as they say and not the easy way out (chicken breasts).  Will surely try again :)
