The Friday night curry is a definite tradition in many households. What better way to celebrate and signify the start of the weekend then with a delicious curry washed down with a cold beer or two?
If you've decided that you fancy a curry this Friday then you have the choice of either eating out at an Indian restaurant, ordering in a takeaway or cooking the meal yourself. Those choosing to eat out can save cash by checking the great restaurant deals on daily deals websites such as livingsocial - after all more curry for your money is always a good thing!
How will you choose to get your curry fix this weekend?
Eating Out
It's always a treat to eat out. Not only do you get to be waited on but you also get the pleasure of dressing for the occasion. Plus, there's no washing or clearing up to do after the meal.
Dublin has some fantastic Indian restaurants to choose from, with Kinara being hailed as the best by reviewers on tripadvisor. A fantastic Pakistani restaurant with stunning views of Dublin Bay, this restaurant is a must try for all those within reach of the city who fancy an evening in the best Indian restaurant in town.
Those tightening their purse string however may want to take a look at the restaurant deals at D3ALS.ie. This great money saving website pulls together all the best daily deals from across the web so that you can see at a glance which restaurants are offering the best discounts to voucher holders.
One example of a fantastic deal on Indian cuisine is the recent Kundan Tandoori deal at livingsocial. Offering a two course Indian meal for two at less than half price, those with this offer in their pocket could enjoy a great Friday night treat for less than expected.
For just €30 you could treat a friend and yourself to a starter, main course, naan bread and a glass of wine, meaning that eating out could be cheaper than eating in!
Takeaway
Getting a takeaway is a Friday night ritual, saving you from the hassle of cooking at the end of a busy week. There's also very little washing up to be done afterwards so you can sit back on the sofa and relax.
Takeaways are the ideal option when you're tired and really can't be bothered to cook or go out. Most Indian restaurants will offer a takeaway option so, if you can't be bothered to dress up and go into town, you can simply have your favourite restaurant deliver to your door.
The only possible downside to ordering in is that, depending on the distance between your home and the takeaway, the food may not have that 'just cooked' freshness, causing grease to sit on the top of certain dishes which can be unappetising.
Cooking
While you might flinch at the idea of cooking at the end of the week, it can actually be a really fun option - particularly if you combine it with entertaining. Why not get a couple of friends around and treat them to a Friday night to remember with an Indian themed dinner party?
Unless you're already an expert in cooking Indian cuisine then you're likely to need a little help and India: The Cookbook is a great addition to any collection of recipe books. The recipes are designed to be easy to follow, and suitable for western kitchens, but still remain authentic and are sure to impress any dinner guests.
For even greater ease and simplicity, The Indian Slow-cooker recipe book features one pot recipes that can be cooked to perfection in your slow cooker, while you get on with your party prep.
In terms of setting the scene, why not dress the table with a length of colourful silk material, reminiscent of a sari, and bold, bright flower arrangements. Make sure that you have some bottles of Cobra chilling in the fridge, or perhaps some crisp white wine, as well as a jug of fresh iced water on the table for those with a delicate palate when it comes to spice.
Entertaining at home can be inexpensive and convenient, and the best bit is that your invited guests will feel obligated to return the favour so you can expect a free meal out very soon!
If you simply can't wait that long however, then check D3ALS.ie for great restaurant deals on Indian food - and you could be heading out to use it next Friday night!
