Sutra - Planet Hollywood

My favorite dinner of the first three nights.  Sutra was fabulous.  Indian is one of my favorite cuisines and the flavors here did not disappoint.   They start you with what I will call fried wonton skins. 

 Super crispy. And there are mango, mint and tamarind sauces you  an dip them in.  The tamarind was my favorite.  If you have never had a tamarind margarita, add it to your bucket list.

I tried both of the red house wines (included) and the merlot was my favorite.  The Cabernet was okay but merlot was a better choice for me based on spice level of the food to come. 


Starters were the paneer pakora and tandori chicken tikka.  The paneer was my favorite of the two. 
Such a crispy outside batter and a creamy inside. Not sure exactly what was in the middle but I am going with cucumber.  It added a nice extra crunch. And it came with a great dipping sauce of yogurt and spices.  

The chicken was very flavorful. 
Some garlic and curry flavors came though as well as a little sweetness. Could have used some kind of sauce.  Perhaps the one user with the paneer.  

The best dish of the night was the fish curry. 

 Such a well cooked piece of grouper.  And that would usually be enough.  But the delicate sauce flavored with curry was the star.  Creamy and spicy.  You needed to use the garlic naan to sop up every drop.


The biryani was also good.
 A hint of mint and curry accentuated the vegetables.   And who can not like a great butter chicken, perhaps the signature Indian dish for American palates.  
A deep tomato flavor, but watch out for the slight heat that comes in the background.  

No dessert tonight.  We sat outside at Twist and did some people watching while waiting for the circus show.
