Indian Take Home Family Style Meal – About the Dishes
Vegetable pakora and Potato pakora with tamarind sauce
Pakora is is a fried snack (fritter), originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is a popular snack across the Indian subcontinent, where it is served in restaurants and sold by street vendors. Pakoras are created by choosing one or two main ingredients and are dipped in a batter often made from gram flour (chickpea / garbanzo bean flour) and are then deep-fried.
Rasam soup
The word Rasam translates to the word ceremony and is a South Indian dish (eaten with other dishes or by itself). It is a spicy-sweet-sour stock can be eaten with rice or separately as a spicy soup. In a traditional meal, it can be part of a course that includes sambar rice and cured rice. Rasam has a distinct taste in comparison to the sambar due to its own seasoning ingredients and is fluid in consistency. For more information click HERE.
Naan and paratha
Naan is a type of flatbread, and so is paratha. Both of them can be stuffed according to the chef’s tastes. Variations of the recipe using yogurt or milk can lead to a thicker or “fluffier” product, particularly useful when the chef wants to stuff the naan. Much like pita bread, naan can be stuffed with meat, vegetables and other ingredients, creating a pocket-type sandwich. Paratha, also a bread, often gets rolled out multiple times, creating a very flaky bread. For more information click HERE.
Chicken tikka
The word tikka is a Persian word, meaning “bits” or “pieces”. It is traditionally small pieces of boneless chicken baked using skewers on a brazier called angeethi after marinating in spices and dahi (yogurt). For more information click HERE.
Raita
Raita is a condiment often consisting of dahi (yogurt, or curd) together with raw or cooked vegetables. We recommend ours with our chicken, vegetables and/or Naan & paratha! For more information click HERE.
Peas Pulao
is a rice dish or, in some regions, a wheat dish, whose recipe usually involves cooking in stock or broth, adding spices, and other ingredients such as vegetables or meat. For more information click HERE.
Navratan vegetable Korma
Navratan vegetable Korma is a creamy vegetable curry. This famous Indian dish translates to “nine-gem” curry. For more information click HERE.
Shahi Tukra
Shahi tukra is a rich, royal Mughlai dessert of fried sugar syrup coated bread topped and soaked with fragrant creamy sweet thickened milk or rabri. The word ‘shahi’ means royal and tukra means ‘a piece’ – shahi tukra translates to royal piece. For more information, click HERE.
