Glasgow has a rich heritage in Indian cuisine, with a host of celebrated Indian restaurants and takeaways in the city.
While all this choice can mean you can always try something new, it can make choosing the right dishes difficult.
Fortunately, the Indian food experts at PK Foods are here with our recommendations for Indian takeaway choices in Glasgow.
Chicken Korma
If you prefer a mild curry, the classic chicken korma is an excellent choice.
Prepared with natural yoghurt and coconut milk, the korma is a creamy, mild option, with the flavour of the spices without the heat.
This is the sort of classic dish you’re likely to find in every Indian takeaway in Glasgow. Of course, you can also get a classic chicken korma from PK Foods.
Chicken Tikka Masala
Glasgow has a claim to be the location where the chicken tikka masala was invented, which means it is one of the city’s most celebrated Indian dishes.
While it isn’t completely verifiable, the story is that a guest at Ali Ahmed Alsam’s restaurant ordered chicken tikka, then complained it was a little dry and asked if some “gravy” could be added.
The chef then improvised a sauce of tomato, cream and spices.
Whether the story is true or not (and several different places claim to be where chicken tikka masala was invented) it is a staple of Indian restaurants in Glasgow.
You can also order chicken tikka masala from PK Foods.
Chicken Bhoona
This dish includes chicken which is slow cooked along with onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cardamom and other spices.
This medium-spicy option is a favourite in Glasgow takeaways (where you may see it spelt “bhuna”)
You can also find PK Foods chicken bhoona exclusively at Costco.
Chicken Jalfrezi
A slightly spicier option, a jalfrezi is also a favourite in Glasgow.
Chicken and vegetables are stir-fried with garlic, onions, peppers and spices.
The Jalfrezi is another British adaptation of a traditional Indian dish, and has become popular in takeaways across the country.
