“Tikki” a bow, @kutirchelsea 🙌🏼 {gifted}
It’s no surprise that @chefrohitghai is Michelin starred 😍 The way he refines traditional Indian food and injects flavour into elegant, beautiful dishes is outstanding 👏🏼
Here’s what we ate:
🌱Dhokla – apple, gram flour cake, roots, sesame
💰£9
💭So unusual! The cake is light & spongey, savoury but also sweet. There’s a tang from the pickled beetroot. The cake soaks up the flavours
❓Order again? Yes
🌱Morels – broccoli, wild mushrooms, turmeric, crisps
💰£12
💭 The shrooms are full of flavour! Lots of different flavours going on but the tanginess stood out
❓Order again? Yes
🌱Lotus stems – sautéed kale, dumplings, vine tomatoes
💰£16
💭 The tomato sauce is to die for – reminds me of tikka masala. The chickpeas are crunchy & chewy. The dumpling is like a potato cake. Lots of ginger & bursts of pickled onions!
❓Order again? Yes
🌱Aloo tikki – tamarind chutney, crispy potato cake, chickpeas, pomegranate
💰£9
💭Cake was cooked well & the chutney gives a lovely tanf. It’s not shy of heat – wow 🔥 love the pom seeds
❓Order again? Yes
🏆Fave dish
🌱Rice – eggplant. Dumplings, chutney, pickle, curry leaf
💰£9
💭Arancini style balls packed w/ beaut spices. Light, not stodgy, crunchy – delicious!
❓Order again? Yes

🌱Aloo saag (seen in main pic)

💭 BEAUT. Thick, creamy, full of ginger. A good amount of spinach & a deep flavour – the right side of bitter
❓Order again? Yes
🏆Fave dish
🌱Tadka dahl (seen in main pic)
💰£8
💭 Good consistency, not watery, nice flavour
❓Order again? Yes
🌱Tandoori tori (seen in main pic)
💰£3
💭 This was absolutely delicious. Light & fluffy and perfect to mop up the sauce from the lotus stems dish
❓Order again? Yes
🌱Pear – star anise. Melon, raisins, saffron, wine
💰£8
💭Divine! Subtle aniseed flavours, dreamy sweet samosa and pear cooked to perfection
❓Order again? Yes
NB: I visited before the truffle drama so also had a truffle dish. I’ve contacted them to let them know about the issue.
