OK, I have to admit that I need to visit Tamarind, a wonderful little Indian restaurant in the Upper East Side (on 3rd Avenue between 94th and 95th Streets) in New York City, just about every week for my meditative dining experience. Don't confuse this modest place with the fancier Tamarind on 22nd Street.
I have been going to the one in the Upper East regularly for about two years. It is a reason we stay in the neighborhood. One of their most interesting dishes is chicken or lamb with their own mango sauce (pictured here). They are proud to say they have invented this particular take on this sauce. It is fresh and zingy with a mild spicy warmth. Every time I order it, it tastes better than I remembered. So I keep getting it.
Ask for Raj.

I can't wait to try this!
Is this served with Basmati Rice or Naan...? Any Chutney or Lassi on the side?
Porthos, it comes with Basmati Rice, but I will tell you a secret. We order a thoroughly indulgent thing to go along with the chicken--"CTG nan," or cheese, tomato, garlic nan. If you are nice to Raj, he will probably hook you up with some CTG as well. Another dish off the menu is a stewed chicken that the wait staff eats after work--also very good.
