We have been trying to eat at every place in our town! Though I do not often pick Indian food, one of our friends suggested Belash, who recently celebrated their anniversary within our town. Belash has been in Harlow since 1977, building up their reputation for delicious curries and traditional Indian food. Though Dann has lived in Harlow his entire life, he’s actually not eaten here either, so we were both very excited to check it out!
Kofta Jalfrazi and Dansak Lamb
Now, as someone who has not had much Indian food, I wasn’t really sure what to order. The staff at Belash were extremely helpful and informed me that the Kofta Jalfrazi was spicy, but not super spicy! I went with it, as I do know I like Kofta. Kofta are these little meatballs, made of lamb, which is cooked in a Jalfrazi curry sauce. This sauce had big chinks of onions, peppers and tomatoes, and was a very nice spice level. None of the curries come with rices, so Dann and I both got mushroom rice on the side. There were good sized chunks of mushrooms in this rice and it was very flavorful. Dann got Dansak Lamb, which is lamb cooked in a sweet and sour sauce. His sauce didn’t have a ton of vegetables like mine, but it had a lot of flavor. I had a bit of it and it was delicious.
