There are times when the comfort and convenience of having food delivered to your door far surpasses the pleasure of dining out. Tonight is one of those nights.

The decision to order in Indian was more a process of elimination as we have slowly sampled the delicacies from almost all our local Drummoyne restaurants. As the new Indian restaurant on Lyons Road, Curry Planet, is closed on Tuesday nights, the responsibility of delivering a warm, delicious dinner falls to Indian Kitchen.

On the menu for tonight is the vegetarian Malai Kofta, a potato and cottage cheese dumpling in a korma sauce, and the old faithful Butter Chicken. We also ordered warm Naan Bread and Basmati Rice to compliment these dishes, with a total bill of $37.80 delivered to our door within the standard 45mins.

For me, nothing beats a good Indian meal, it is aromatic, warm and satisfies the senses. I have sampled many Malai Kofta dishes and this one was not bad. The Korma sauce warmed the mouth without being spicy, however the dumplings were quite dry. The butter chicken was rich in tomato flavour and less creamy than others, which complimented the fresh chicken. The Basmati rice was nicely spiced with sultanas and peanuts throughout, however on hindsight I would have preferred plain rice to soak up the flavours of the curry. The Naan was oily to the touch but dry to the tounge and became slightly tough as it cooled, however it was nice when dipped in the sauces.

Overall this eating-in experience was a pleasant one, but by no means the best Indian I have had by a long shot. I will be interested to see how Curry Planet fairs in comparison.
