Thank you @TallTrees for the details about Gulab Jamuns.

Sounds like something I`d enjoy. I`ll take to check local deliveries to see if they have it on their menu to try at some point.

Yes, there are loads of lovely vegetarian Indian food which I enjoy and of course Birmingham is the "home" of the balti

Oh @TallTrees  that looks good.    The only thing missing is a huge wedge of naan bread to soak up the excess gravy and clean the plates properly.

Indian food, the hotter the better, is my favourite and when eating out it's usually an Indian restaurant that is visited.  Sadly of late, there's not been too many chances to eat out, but hopefully in the not too distant future things will change for us all.  It's making me hungry looking at your presentation.

Balti   
 @Mi-Amigo 

~ yes they may offer the Galub Jamons

[TallTrees]

Hi there ~ Very hot for me too !  @BobM 

True naan bread or parathas ~ never be able to get up from the table though

No washing up needed!!

Hope the Indian Restaurants open soon ~ that will keep us happy.

Looks lovely @TallTrees 

All presented well

I would go for all of that

Must see if there is a local take-away, which there would be

A treat perhaps to share with someone when Lockdown 3 ends

I like naan bread too @BobM to mop up the sauces.

@BobM @TallTrees 

Luckily we have 3 Indian restaurants by us which offer takeaway and free delivery, so we never miss out.

Also a wonderful real Ghurka restaurant in town who also offer free takeaway.

Owned by Om Gurung MBE, a Sergeant Major in the Ghurka regiment, who fought in the Falklands. He handed the keys of Hong Kong over to the Chinese when it was no longer a British Colony.

There you go, a bit of history as well as info on Indian or Ghurka takeways in the area. ...

You all got me very, very hungry now
