They've actually reduced the price on this from SGD $9.90 previously.
.
The lentils here are slightly more chunky instead of smooth, with a thicker texture that starts to set, requiring periodic stirring.

The marinade of spices here has infused beyond just the surface of the chicken, both visually evident and in taste - robust meaty savoury spice sweet in flavour.
.
Nicely tender with a light juicy chew to texture. The spice lingers on the palate, lending a bit of heat.
.
Dipping mint sauce is bright with herbal sweet notes, nice. Good technique and quality spices means a higher price.

A pretty lace drizzle of cream tops this decadent curry gravy, thick and creamy with bold meaty sweet savoury spice flavour.
.
The marinated boneless chicken chunks are decently tender with a light chew, picking up the rich flavours of the curry gravy, with an added layer of smoky notes that gently entice.

The curry here borders between paste and gravy, being thick and velvety, with deep vegetal earthy savoury spice notes and a hint of sweet on the tail.
.
Their okra is more skinny than elsewhere, with a satisfying crunch, picking up on the flavours of the curry.
.
More chunks of juicy tomato would be welcome, but this remains an overall satisfying rendition.

Restaurant quality casual North Indian dining. Dishes are made to order, so there's usually a short wait.
.
Compared to elsewhere, their version of this dish has a stronger curry paste, lending the cauliflower and potatoes a robust savoury salty sweet spice flavour.
.
The cauliflower also retains a more crunchy texture, while the potatoes are nicely tender. The flavours linger pleasantly on for a short while.
