Before the creamy restaurant classics there was the everyday curry cooked in Indian homes — chicken simmered on the bone or off it in a gravy of browned onion, tomato, ginger, garlic and whole spice. That is the dish we serve here: honest, aromatic and built on a masala that has been cooked properly rather than rushed.
The base of a good curry is patience. Onions are cooked far past golden until they melt into the oil, then ginger and garlic, then ground spice bloomed until fragrant, and only then the tomato and the chicken. Skip any of those steps and the gravy tastes raw — which is exactly why we do not.
The finished curry is thinner and sharper than butter chicken, with the whole spices still visible and the chilli allowed to speak. It is what many of our regulars order once they have worked through the milder end of the menu, and it is the dish that best answers the search for authentic Indian food in Regina.
Our masala base is cooked in quantity each day and each order is finished individually, which keeps the flavour consistent without the gravy sitting and stewing. Tell us how hot you want it — this is the dish on the menu with the widest heat range.

It is built the way it is built in a home kitchen: onions cooked down slowly, whole and ground spices bloomed in oil, tomato and chicken added after. There is no cream shortcut in the gravy.
It is served medium to hot by default, and it is the dish where we can push the heat furthest. Ask for mild if you prefer a gentler curry.
