...waiter claimed that the Chicken Makhni was “universally likable,” so we decided to give it a try. It was basically Chicken Tikka Masala, except more flavorful and buttery; the sauce was divinely smooth, and the pieces of chicken were tantalizingly tender, but we could feel our arteries clogging up from the luscious thickness of the butter. Abiding by our creative editor’s distaste towards spiciness, we requested everything to be ordered in mild. Good thing we did, as the dishes were already spicy at mild. We also sampled the Chicken Saagwala, which...
They made the right choice. Since distancing themselves from the manufactured sounds and styles of London's Asian club scene, the duo hase created its own, highly original kind of music.

"Fire," it offers up an intelligent look at lesbian life and the Indian community. Although "Chutney Popcorn?" in its brief 92-minute running time, deals with as many issues as a week of afternoon talk shows - lesbianism, multiculturalism, having-a-babyism - it does so not to spark a debate about those topics, but to explore them from a deeply personal standpoint.
