Need a good dosa Indian food? 🥘 {gifted}
Until 30th Nov, pan-Indian restaurant @baluchi.london is offering a 7 course vegan tasting menu for £55 💰 They also stock vegan wines which we felt obliged to test 😉🍷
The food is as beautiful as the venue 😍 Every dish BURSTS with flavour 🤤
Here’s what we thought:
🌱Bharwan Zucchini – Crisp courgette flower, masala soya mince, pickled garlic
💭Like a soft, spicy samosa w/ a light batter. Sauce is sweet, thick, creamy, citrusy & coconutty. Pickled garlic is heavenly. Soy has a creamy potato texture
🌱Tandoori celeriac (GF) w/ mint chutney, burnt apple gel, masala seeds, gunpowder, coconut foam
💭Flavour is outstanding, celeriac soft but retains a crunch, chutney is beaut. Nice contrast from the sweet apple, subtle coconut flavour, crunch from seeds
🌱Mushroom Ki Kebab (GF) – stuffed mushrooms w/ a cashew nut crumble
💭 Lovely, juicy mushrooms, coated in a beaut (mildly spicy) seasoning. Crumble works SO well to add bite. SO many flavours!
🌱Sorbet (GF)
💭 Sweet mango heaven
🌱Aubergine steak w/ coconut sukha, spiced tofu mince, spinach, superseeds
💭V spicy w/ lovely sweet flavours. The aub soaked them up perfectly. Tofu adds nice substance!
🌱Subz ki thal (GF) – tandoori roasted cauliflower, tandoori aloo, gunpowder sabudana papad (served w/ tandoori roti & dal tarka)
💭Cauli – V spicy, rich, strong tomato flavour. Cauli retains some bite, charcoal tandoori flavour is perfect. Love the cracker! Dal – Warming, creamy, not too thick, chunky & mild
🌱Dessert – Tapioca kher & tandoori pineapple
💭 Beaut chai flavour, creamy, sweet & coconutty. Didn’t get a tandoori taste but enjoyed it a lot!
