Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani
Although the taste was pretty great, I was turned off by almost cutting my mouth in a sharp, hard piece of plastic. I probably won’t try again for fear of it happening again.

Jackfruit Kebabs in Makhani Sauce
This was very tasty, but I wish it had a better protein to carb ratio. I ended up getting hypoglycemic an hour or so after. Maybe 1/2 bread, 1/2 a side that has protein to balance the jackfruit?

Classic-Butter Chicken
Sweet taste and would love more substance to the meal or some rice to collect that great sauce.
