Indian Food Beyond Curry

A creative take on paneer. Instead of using paneer (Indian cottage cheese), the dish uses burrata instead. To be honest, the creamy burrata is a refreshing change from the curdled, slightly brittle paneer. Also love the additional of sweet Alphonso mango on top. Wish there were more saag than burrata, but still enjoy this.

The only dessert we ordered because we stuffed ourselves full from all the curries and hoppers! The first taste reminded me of crack pie that I got from a famous pie shop in Chicago but as I chewed more, the taste becomes way more familiar. Made with jaggery (which, iiuc, is akin to palm sugar) as well as coconut milk, the custard is silky smooth and leans on the aromatic sweet kind. Fortunately, it also comes crushed pistachio, some hidden candied orange beneath the ice cream and spices throughout to cut through the sweetness. Love this so much that I wish I didnt have to share it with 3 others.

The chapati here was light yet it came with a good bite - slightly chewy, unlike the typical dry and dense chapati. Shout out to their mutton keema, cauliflower and lady's finger too! The mutton was tender, flavourful without any gamey flavour. Why did I not know of this place earlier?

Made of green chilli and chilli garlic sauce, the sauce nicely coated all the deep-fried chicken. It was indeed flavourful, but I would have preferred if the sauce was a tad spicier!

Can never get enough of cheese! The fresh cheese was smothered in mint and coriander, and it went really well with the charred peppers, giving a smokey flavour to the otherwise plain cheese. The cheese itself was soft and fresh - you can't go wrong with their paneer!

Still remembered how I made fun of chicken lollipop when reading it on the menu at an Indian restaurant a few months back, and geez I had to take my words back. The chicken lollipops here were really good! The addictive sauce was essentially chilli and garlic sauce with a tinge of sweetness. It's probably called lollipops because of the way you eat it: like a lollipop - only that I finished it within a minute #oops

Slightly fishy, but I quite enjoyed it. Loved how the flesh was still moist as it was marinated in yogurt before getting grilled. Found the price tag to be rather steep though!

A (not too) sweet treat to begin our meals here! The salted lassi was an interesting version of lassi that I had never tried before. It kinda reminded me of Vietnamese salted lemonade drink with its acquired taste that may not be for everyone. For a less adventurous beginning, the mango lassi would be enough for me!
