A SPICY curry with huge naan breads and poppadoms on the side are a takeaway staple for food fans across the UK.
Whether it’s a quick pick up after a night out or a treat when you don’t fancy cooking, the flavoursome Indian cuisine is always popular.

However, insiders at Mr Chef, a renowned Indian takeaway in Scotland, have lifted the lid on secrets behind the counter.
Owner Wasim Arshad is very passionate about the award-winning meals he cooks up in Hamilton.
And he’s revealed the item on his own menu that he’d never order – insisting it tastes like CUSTARD.
The takeaway boss says he’s always surprised that the dish proves so popular with his customers, as he doesn’t consider it a proper curry.
His staff refuse to eat it too, but they still cook up hundreds of portions a week.
He told The Scottish Sun: “Korma is in my top five selling curries and neither me or my staff will eat it and we never have.
“We sell up to 300 portions of Korma every week but it’s not a curry in my eyes.”
He added: “It’s more of a dessert. It’s made for the British palate.
“Cream, coconut , sugar and yogurt in a curry – come on.
“I feel it tastes like custard.
“But strangely it’s one of the most popular dishes on my menu.”
Wasim, whose eatery won best takeaway and home delivery at this year’s Scottish Curry Awards, also revealed the dish on his menu that he loves but is NEVER ordered by customers.
And he wishes it was more popular as he reckons food lovers have no idea what they’re missing.
Wasim said: “We absolutely love aloo gobee – which is potato and cauliflower curry.
“It is a staple traditional dish in Pakistan due to its healthiness and quick method of cooking.
“It’s very tasty indeed and even three of our Scottish drivers ask for it but not customers strangely.
“Many people don’t like the thought of it or just simply prefer our chicken and lamb dishes.”
Wasim adds: “The second is saag curry made with spinach.
“It’s boiled, cooked, ground down and then mixed with a serious amount of several Asian spices.
“Traditionally even in the UK, when our parents make this dish at home, they make it in large amounts and distribute it to all the family,
“However on the Mr Chef menu, it is barely ever ordered by the Scottish public.”
