We also ordered a Palak Paneer &#8211; but the only thing I can say is that it was green! &#8211; plus 4 plain naans, which didn&#8217;t last long, so we ordered 2 more, which didn&#8217;t last much longer, so we ordered a butter naan. The naans were delicious and I dare say they could be called the best tasting naans in the whole of India!<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s a photo down lower on this page of the workers making the breads.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/monsoon-meandering.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/karims\/3-chicken mughlai - 600.JPG\" alt=\"Chicken Mughlai\" \/><br \/>\nChicken Mughlai<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/monsoon-meandering.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/karims\/3-chicken jehangiri - 600.JPG\" alt=\"Chicken Jehangiri\" \/><br \/>\nChicken Jehangiri<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/monsoon-meandering.winchcombe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/karims\/3-shahi paneer - 600.JPG\" alt=\"Shahi Paneer\" \/><br \/>\nShahi Paneer\n<\/p>\n<p>After the meal we looked outside and we watched them serve up shahi paneer on to plates and take it upstairs; It was fascinating watching to see how it was made!
