5/5 Bernard & Marijke S. 8 months ago on Google
I
just
did
another
interesting
taste
test
between
2
Butter
Chicken
Curries
made
at
2
of
East
London's
leading
curry
shops
(and
both
of
them
in
Berea):
Red
Chillies
in
Chamerlain
Road
and
Irana
in
Glaston
Street.
Both
businesses
are
clean
and
presentable,
both
with
friendly
and
professional
staff
and
both
of
them
give
very
good
service.
I
had
to
compare
apples
with
apples,
so
I
decided
on
a
regular
sized
Butter
Chicken
Currie
with
rice,
to
use
as
a
common
denominator.
You
will
see
in
my
picture
that
Red
Chillies
gives
you
more
curry
than
Irana,
as
their
curry
take
away
container
is
bigger
that
Irana's,
while
the
size
of
the
rice
is
almost
the
same.
Irana
served
a
mixture
of
white
and
yellow
rice
and
Red
Chillies
served
white
rice.
The
price
at
Irana
was
R109,
while
Red
Chillies
charged
R90.
Now
for
the
most
important
part,
THE
CURRY
COMPARISON:
Irana's
Butter
Chicken
Curry
was
yellowish
in
colour,
the
chicken
breast
was
cut
into
larger
cubes
and
it
was
dryer
than
that
of
Red
Chillies.
Still,
the
spices
used
was
flavourful
and
delicious.
The
Butter
Chicken
Curry
from
Red
Chillies
was
more
orangy
in
colour,
the
chicken
breast
was
cut
into
smaller
cubes
and
the
curry
had
a
lot
more
gravy.
It
had
a
distinctly
different
and
slightly
sweeter
taste
that
that
of
Irana,
but
also
had
a
delicious
blend
of
spices
and
lovely
flavours.
Both
of
these
establishments
serve
a
good
quality
and
tasty
Butter
Chicken
Curry
and
are
well
worth
a
visit.
Well
done
guys!ππππ»
I
can't
wait
to
compare
both
of
your
Beef
Curries!ππ€€
