When you’re in Argentina the last thing you think you’ll eat is a curried leg of lamb. On the fringe of Palermo-Hollywood is an out of place bar named Bangalore. Downstairs you get beers and burgers but upstairs in a semi-secret loft perched above the bar the menu is completely different. A who’s who of iconic Indian dishes line an over sized menu without a trace of a hamburger. In fact, you have to go back down to the bar to order a burger if the explosive Indian selection was not enough for you. The menu’s are strictly separated. Amongst the 16 different items we ordered was this monster leg of lamb. With head shakes and smiles from most of the staff, my party of four patiently waited the 45 minutes it took for this hunk of sub-continent, spiced, goodness to be placed on our table. A cilantro shower was the final touch to compliment the caramelized outer shell of the fragrant and succulent meat. The fat cap gave just the right amount of balance to the muscle allowing each bite to be a cornucopia of spices, fat, meat and char. Finish with a hand made naan roll. The closing move (for one luck participant) is a double fisted, tear off the bone with your teeth set of bites.
