"today I have placed my first order with ista by doordash. dd has approx. 12% markup, plus shipping costs, service fee and driver tip. if they can collect personally, isas web page gives them the right prices. the prices are reasonable. first was $7 palak chat, a appetizer. it came in a pint size container, and is medium sized and large spinat leaves, rolled in kichererbsen flour, then flash fried. it is not super oily, and it is not super wild. even from the delivery it was still sharp. it has only a little spicy, and a little salt in it. that is a new favorit. the portion size is good for 2 people. next it was $2.00 naan, if they don't know what's naan, they think of a fresh puffy tortilla. it is less dense than a pita, and less fat than a flour tortilla. it is about 8' diameter, half cut, packed in foil. you tear and dip it in sauces that they offer (mint chutney, bbq sauce, and some creamy sauce that might have been ranch, I skipped it and used it to pick up some of my entree. Last was a $13 saag paneer. saag means greens. sometimes it is just spinat (aka palak) and sometimes it is savoury or other things. the greens are a pure, thick as gravy, with a buttery taste (because it contains butter) paneer means cheese, but it is not like the blocks of the colored cheddar. this is fresh and has texture and taste more like ricotta. it is dry and cut into small, bite-sized cubes. for my order I have a quarter of it, plus styropor sandwich container by jasmin reis. the taste was excellent, and everything I was hoping for. the amount of the wiper was directly at the edge. sometimes I like an extra wiper. I didn't think about it, and I'm not sad, but I could ask for extra next time. the portion size is good for three portions. I'm a big, gluttonian guy, and I put a third of it in the refrigerator. this meal was great. I missed that. I'm fat and happy. I think I have to take my family to immerse, but I always forget that they exist, unless I pass for another purpose. Online order helps me remember."
