the curryer

i am happy to report that the curryer's rice is anything but dull. i'm not gonna lie, i have visited the curryer several times before. they are a food cart conveniently located a block away from my office. every day, they have four entrees, two vegan, and two of whatever the rest of the world eats. i try not to think about it. today i had the chana masala which is, as you can see, a base of garbanzo beans and fired tomatoes soaked in a flaming hot lava ofindianbrilliance. every entree comes on a bed of jazmine rice topped with a hat of freshly-tandoored naan. my chana masala was exactly what i was expecting, but no bombay house. i typically like my sauce to be a little thicker and not so watery, but the flavors were perfect. however, the naan at the curryer is top notch. did i mention they have their tandoor oven on their f

disappointed. i really wanted to like this place. i thought, a street vendor that sellsindianfood, cool! however, the reality was quite disappointing. my husband and i both had the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. the naan was delicious and authentic, the masala was awful. the sauce tastes ketchup based. seriously, the only flavor present in the sauce is tomatoes. bland tomatoes. masala is supposed to be full of tomato and cream, cumin, paprika, etc. those were all absent. if you're in a rush you'd be better off going to masala in sugarhouse or curry in a hurry on state.
