Cheap Eats 2008

By BRIAN PANGANIBAN

While it's easy to fall into a blissful trance watching the Bhangra/Bollywood music videos on the big screen at Tandoor Indian Kitchen, it's the food that really deserves your attention. Start with some baiji ($5), chickpea-batter-dipped, deep-fried vegetables that are essentially less greasy, delicate-tasting jojos. Move on to the tandoori specialties like moist chicken legs ($9.95) and tender lamb biryani ($10.95), bursting with cloves. Cool off with a mango lassi ($3.50) and then spend the rest of your day trying to get the Indian music out of your head. (BP)
