Hot in Chilly Toronto

Toronto calls itself the most multicultural city in the world.

It's hard to tell by walking around on a damp, cool evening but one thing's for sure, the city does have a wide variety of restaurants.

One night, a dear friend and a colleague went out for a bite in the hip Queen West neighborhood downtown. We wandered from door to door, looking pop-eyed at menu prices before settling on Indian food at Trimurti.

This was a lucky random find. Though the foods were so spicy they blew away precise memory of what we ordered, I do remember the chicken and lamb dishes, the fragrant and nutty basmati, the handmade naan, the mango lassi and the company were delicious.

The only unfortunate part was that between the three of us, the three main courses were more than we could eat.

It would have been nice to talk to the cooks, especially after watching this promotional video. If nothing else, I'd ask for the naan recipe. Now that I'm on the East Coast, a hop up to visit my neighbors to the north should be easy.
