Ti kanei i kyvernisi? >:(<br /><br />Btw, there are OK Indian restaurants in Corfu. I've eaten in one myself, several years ago (it was my first time so I can't really say whether it was good or bad). It was in the town of Gouvia (Γουβιά) which is a common destination for Brit tourists and was operated by an expat couple (I think). They gave little certificates for the "Flaming Rectum Society" to the two members of the parea who tried their Vindaloo, so I think they were kind of oriented towards stag parties (though our certified members of the FRS where a girl and her dad). <br /><br />That one is now closed but there are others in the same area and, I believe elsewhere on the island (probably thanks to the expats and the tourists). <br /><br />The dad from the FRS is a conoissseur (having studied in Scottland in his youth) and reports that there is even a place that gives Indian cuisine lessons. <br /><br />There is hope... :) <br /><br />P.S. What is the right way to cook spices? We need a recipe... ;)Anne N.

It might be worth calling in advance and putting an order in. They seemed flexible. <br /><br />As for idli sambar and dosa, my all time favourite meal is masala dosa. My mum is brilliant at making them, but years of attempts have only left me scraping dosa mix out of pans, cursing my luck. I do fine with idlis, dosas not at all :(bollybuttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576835810755107181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13460251.post-53541135889405324022011-02-05T21:57:15.849+02:002011-02-05T21:57:15.849+02:00I was just about to ask if they do vegetarian stuf...I was just about to ask if they do vegetarian stuff but Pete beat me to it! <br />And hearing the mention of dosas makes me very hungry indeed, I don't suppose you know of anywhere in Athens where one can enjoy such a tasty treat? Maybe even an idli vada sambar?<br />Thanks!Popihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02655011678955239481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13460251.post-182360346429570612011-01-30T14:30:54.976+02:002011-01-30T14:30:54.976+02:00Hello

Rice pancakes with potato filling, mmmmm. Eat everything. Chances are you'll get sick but you'll never forget the delicious things you tried. You'll probably get sick even if you were careful, so I say go for it. It'll be totally worth it.bollybuttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576835810755107181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13460251.post-36827549405287224982011-01-24T16:52:24.985+02:002011-01-24T16:52:24.985+02:00Yo, Bolly

Liked the food, and I want to say that when you see the menu all the dishes are chicken dishes BUT if you look more carefully, it says in one corner that you can also get all the dishes with lamb or beef instead. Which is good because I think lamb is usually the cleanest, least chemical meat you can find.<br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13460251.post-56813940411148195992011-01-23T21:36:34.597+02:002011-01-23T21:36:34.597+02:00ela re. i have lived in patras 4 years ago, just f...ela re. i have lived in patras 4 years ago, just for 1 1/2 year i have been there and i made my expirience. i liked it actually, specially the food lol. greets from germanyShadownlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18013502197237539284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13460251.post-46467717394154269152011-01-20T02:02:08.804+02:002011-01-20T02:02:08.804+02:00i'm so there next week. had i read it earlier ...i'm so there next week. had i read it earlier i would have gone today.<br />alAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13460251.post-14732046395439751432011-01-19T17:52:17.392+02:002011-01-19T17:52:17.392+02:00Mmmmmm...
