phuketsub Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Does anyone know of a good Indian restaurant in Haad Yai? I am also interested in buying Indian spices and trying my hand at making it myself. Does anyone know where they are available? I grow tumeric and ginger in my garden, so have plenty of them, but I still feel like something is missing. Anyway, any help much appreciated as usual...

Stocky Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 There's only one Indian restaurant in Hat Yai that I know of, that's Namaste on Nipathutit 1 (the colourful buildings street). It's southern Indian, Tamil cuisine, which I don't much enjoy. As for Indian spices, if you can't find what you want in Kimyong, then a trip to Malaysia is probably the best option.

Thanks Stocky, I subsequently found out through Google that Namaste has a second branch (at least I assume they are related) near PSU, but they require you to book a table and order a day in advance. I think I'll just pop my head in there first and have a look. Kimyong definitely seems to be the place to pick up all the more exotic stuff...will definitely give that a go.

Stocky Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hadn't realised they'd opened another restaurant near the university, I know the one in town is popular. I went there once years ago when I had a craving for Indian food, but was disappointed. Most Indian dishes rely on a basic garam masala which is just a combination of spices, all of which you should be able to find in Kimyong - should be whole spice rather than powders. Usually all or most of the following, depending on which recipe you follow (plenty to choose from on the Internet). Coriander seeds Cumin seeds Green Cardamom pods Cloves Black pepper corns Cinnamon Fennel Nutmeg Dried red chilli You just grind them all into a powder and then keep in an airtight container.

recom273 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Just saying .. A while back a sign appeared on a shop near the Sakura hotel, “Indian Curry House - Coming soon” We were looking forward to it opening, but nothing came of it, and the sign seems to have vanished. Isn’t Namaste a vegitarian joint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketsub Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Not sure if Namaste is vegetarian or not. If it is, this carnivore will give it a miss. The good news is that I did get some of the spices for Garam Masala as recommended by Stocky. I found them at Makro. I kind of feel like I have opened a culinary version of Pandora's Box now...

If it never got to open well at least he didn't lose as much money as he might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
