A rare example of a rendition that has only gotten better, improving with time.
.
As long as a forearm, the thick chunky rendition has thin crisp pan-fried dough folded and layered with a generous helping of ingredients. Love that it's non-greasy.
.
Includes wispy chicken egg, crisp red onions, and a choice of either tender turmeric spiced minced mutton, or chewy shredded chicken.
.
Has addictive smoky bready eggy meaty vegetal salty savoury spice flavour. Wholesome sides of fresh lettuce and crisp cucumber, both with vegetal sweet flavour.

Dinner before class, back when I studied nearby.

Luscious mint chutney on the side, bright with vegetal herbal sweet flavour, to pair.

The gravy is thick and chunky, with pleasant mild vegetal sweet spice savoury flavours from the blend of pureed tomatoes, tender sliced red onions, and whole dried red chili.
.
The boneless cream dory fish fillets are flaky soft and moist, picking up the tasty notes from the gravy.
.
Chunks of crisp juicy bell peppers / capsicum lend a nice vegetal bitter herbal sweet contrast.

Cost: 7++

One of my go-to foods when I feel famished when in NUS.
The butter chicken is ridiculously filling for its appearance. When added to naan, I find myself struggling to finish.
