Super Yum Butter Chicken Recipe w/ Random Dance Solo

There's nothing to fear in homemade Butter Chicken.

I've been interested in Indian food but feared it would be too hot, and the menus were intimidating because everything sounded the same. This changed in 2005, when my friend Todd Morin served me his homemade, from scratch simple recipe of Butter Chicken which only consisted of a few ingredients (celery, onion, tomato paste, tandoori masala, whipping cream and fennel). He learned this recipe from an Indian family. I was instantly in love with the flavour and this was my gateway into Indian food.

Bollywood Theatre: Review

by Ivy Haisell in Food Tourism, Portland

Bollywood Theatre breaks those conventions with flavourful, memorable food at reasonable prices. Bollywood posters and antiques from India complete the shabby chic vibe of the space. It's casual, so casual in fact you line-up to order your food, then grab your table while you wait for it to arrive, then bus your table after.
