If you think having tandoori chicken means wrestling the hard meat with your teeth, you are right! Tandoori chicken are often overcooked or too dry due to the cooking process. However, there's one place that get it right, which is Pak Putra. Pak Putra, a Northern Indian cuisine restaurant is a famous and well-loved eatery place among the locals here.
Typical Northern Indian food are spotted on the menu such as Chicken Vindaloo, Mutton Kolhapuri, Tawa Prawns, Mutton Roganjosh, etc. Unlike the usual Indian food in Malaysia (which is from Southern India), the taste of Northern Indian food are milder and tame in terms of the spiciness level.
What is a trip to Pak Putra without ordering the Chicken Tandoori (RM9.00)? The meat is tender and juicy each bite. It is well marinated with what they claimed to be a mixture of 11 spices including crushed hazelnut. Each serving is served with special mint sauce which is also one of their top secret ingredient.
The Jason Naan (RM8.00) goes very well with the Tandoori Chicken. Popularized by Jason Lioh (a photo journalist), the Jason Naan is a combination of all the naans available on their menu. Made with ingredients of boiled eggs, potato, cheese, garlic, onion and butter, the Jason Naan would be really filling. The texture of the naan is soft and packed with the ingredients.
For other choice of naan that is different from the usual cheese or garlic naan is the Pizza Naan (RM5.50). The naan is filled with shredded chicken, tuna and onion.
One of our recommended dish (however, not on the top of the list) is the Butter Chicken (RM10.00). Stated on the menu, it is the all time favourite of their customers. The boneless chicken strips are cooked in creamy tomato and butter base. It is not spicy and definitely child-friendly.
Do remember to include the Potato Zeera (RM6.00) in your order. It is saute potato cooked in your choice of dry cumin or hot spicy sauce. It is one of the Indian comfort food and it suits everyone's different taste preference.
All the dishes at Pak Putra was perfect and satisfying, except the Briyani Rice (RM3.50). It was rather hard and it doesn't have that hot and fluffy texture. There is also noticeably lacking of spices in the rice.
Do not miss the Mango Lassi (RM5.00). It is freshly made from mango and it goes very well with other spicy meal you have.
Arriving Pak Putra during dinner time on the weekend is a guarantee that no table or seat will be available. To avoid disappointment, go during weekdays or early on the weekend.
