Instructions
- [For
- Servings/Ingredients]
- Cobra Premium Beers (330ml bottles or 650ml large bottles), slightly chilled (~8°C) pint glasses, Chicken Tikka Masala (UK-born Indian curry / for pairing).
- At authentic Indian restaurants in London (or globally), order 'Cobra Beer' featuring heavy embossed bottles.
- Slowly pour beer kept ~8°C where wheat aroma opens easily—not ice-cold—into pint glasses (or goblets).
- Since Cobra Beer carbonation is intentionally set weak, foaming is modest, keeping creamy liquid surface.
- Before you is UK-origin Indian dish 'Chicken Tikka Masala' richly entwining tomatoes, cream, spices.
- Shovel rich curry with Naan, wash down Cobra Beer where mouth is filled with spices/milk fat.
- Surprisingly smooth mouthfeel and faint malt/corn-derived sweetness brilliantly fuse (marriage) with curry spices in mouth. Without bloating stomach with carbonation, nor killing spice flavors, a cup truly calculated thoroughly for eating curry.

Trivia
[Hardcore] Miracle beer solving dilemma 'Highly-carbonated stomach-bloating lagers don't match curry. But ales have too strong aromas'. Based on India-unique recipe, using 'corn and rice' as adjuncts besides malt/hops, double-fermenting realizes 'Extra Smooth' gently wrapping curry spices. Now absolute staple served at 90%+ UK Indian restaurants.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Drinking] Swirl glass extracting carbonation further, pairing with spicy curry in near-room-temp state like ale beer, enjoying 'clash of aromas and richness'!
