If you’ve never checked out the pre-packaged meals in City Market’s refrigerated case, you’re missing out. Owners Sunny and Hamida are from India, and lately they’ve been packaging more of their native dishes to-go. I love Indian food, and since Amber Palace closed in 2005 I’ve had no way to get it without driving a car. Therefore, I’m thrilled to have the chance to take home food from City Market.<\/p>\n

Last night about 10:45, I was at the Saucer drinking my usual Dos Equis Lager. I checked Foursquare. “Bleh,” I thought. “No one is out tonight. Instead of going to another bar, I think I’ll call it an early night and conserve energy for tomorrow.” Remembering that City Market is open until 11:30 Friday and Saturday nights, I stopped in as I walked home.<\/p>\n

Looking over their selection, I decided on the Green Chicken Masala pictured above. At $6.99, it was cheaper than I’d pay for that same entree in an actual restaurant. I dumped it on a plate and after two and a half minutes in the microwave, it was delicious.<\/p>\n

If you’re not into Indian food, don’t worry, the market has plenty of pre-packaged American dishes too. Also, if you’re a vegetarian, try the vegetable korma. If you’re Downtown at lunchtime, they have hot Indian specials several weekdays that you can eat there or take back to your home or office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
