Banana Leaf Rice (Indian Food)

Rice that serve on banana leaf. A little bit like korean style, it come with 4 side dishes eg cucumber with onion and vegetable that cook until very very soft. Don't worry you have the opt to choose those you like and ask for as many scoops as you like. Also don't forget to ask for papadam (Indian cracker), it mix well with the rice with curry sauces. Okay, this is how Banana leaf rice looks like. Eat with hand to have better taste. ^.^ Of course you must take the rice with some main dishes. Curry chicken, chili prawn and mutton curry. And of course not to miss out dish fried calamari. Usually this dish is freshly fried after ordered. A bite of this, a handful of rice with curry sauces, wow! Is heaven. Fish Curry, Chicken Curry and Dhall curry. You may pick one of your favorite or add in all 3 sauces, you will be surprice the taste is still wonderful. Have a try, you will fall in love with this. Where to eat? You can easily get this in any Indian food stall in malaysia.
