The yolk, however was fine, with the Masala, more pleasure. Can one overcook an Egg? The white, a bit rubbery, today’s Egg was the weakest link. Kofta, Masala, the Bread, all going down so well. The Kofta had their own commendable Spice, Seasoning and Flavour. Hector’s attempts are coarse grained, these, so fine. How Chefs get the Meatballs so compact baffles. Today, I found myself scooping even smaller pieces of Kofta and Masala simultaneously with the glorious Bread. This means that a greater surface area of the Kofta is in contact with the Masala. The Kofta and Egg were quartered as is the Hector way. I would encounter a Black Cardamom and solitary Black Peppercorn, whole Spices, the sign of quality. The blast of Herbs took me aback, if Wednesday was excellent this was something else, another – Wow! The Spice, Seasoning and Flavours were all spot on. The sprinkling of Coriander appeared modest. At Punjabi Tikka, this was no Shorva, behold what appeared to be the same Tomato-based Masala served with the Mutton Karahi(€4.50) earlier in the week.Ĭonsequently, the first dip of Bread in the Masala was another wonderful moment. At Pak Tikka Shop & Grill House, they add Yoghurt to give the Shorva a distinctive boost. In Glasgow, the accompaniment is the classic Oily, watery even, Shorva. Here there was a major difference, indeed this could well be unique Kofta Anda. Two Kofta and one hard boiled Egg as in the model experienced at Pak Tikka Shop & Grill. Roti? This Bread was way beyond a Roti, closer to a Naan an absolute delight. Two Pakistani Roti were served, between us we would only manage one, however, as with last year, the spare Roti would be given to a passing person in need. My food came first complete with a plate of Salad and Raita, again inclusive in the price of the Order. I heard the strains of a familiar voice, the TV screen confirmed – Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Marg liked the paper bags complete with Punjabi Tikka logo, no plastic here. In addition to most street level tables being occupied, there was a queue for Takeaway. Today was appreciably busier than on our Wednesday visit. We didn’t spot Samosa on the menu, but the waiter confirmed they were available. Marg mentioned Chickpeas, once again I dissuaded her. Kofta Anda (€4.50) was ordered, this includes the Pakistani Roti (€0.40). No glasses, indeed ordering Lassi appears to be the only time a drinking vessel is provided. Two half litre bottles of chilled Water were brought. The two young waiters gave a look of recognition when we took the optimum table in the doorway at 14.20. Such is the pleasure this Curry can give, whenever, wherever, the opperchancity presents, why not? Kofta Anda also makes a welcome change from reporting on the usual Karahi Gosht. At Punjabi Tikka (Nikiforou 1, Athina 104 37 Hellas), Saturday is Kofta Anda Day! But, Hector, you had Kofta Anda yesterday.
