Here is the menu!
Starters: 1st course
Rail Palaharam. A Telengana Street food served with tomato tokku. Steamed rice dumplings sautéed with fresh coconut. Tomato tokku, a dip that is a tangy reduction tomato, shallots with a spice blend.
Masala Kara Pori. A Madras beach special. Puffed rice with tomatoes and cucumber served with milage podi.
Mysore Bonda. The only place where the bondas beg to differ. While other southern states have bondas with a potato filling, these ones from Mysore are like pillows like, made with flour and yogurt, Served with a spicy green chilli chutney, this could become a addictive problem.
Pappadam Chanmmandi. A Kerala delight to showcase the difference between pappadam and appam. An apalams are crispy fritters that don’t puff up completely, found across the shelves of Singapore Indian shops, sun-dried to enjoy a long shelf life. But a papadam made with fresh dough that comes all the way from Guruvayoor Kerala, puffs up like cloud of air, very delicate on the palate. Chanmmandi is a tangy tamarind, red-chilli ball made with crushed pappadam that absorbs all the favour.
Chegodilu. A traditional Andhra Wedding snack that is handmade. Made with rice flour, each one is individually rolled out into thin strips and then the two ends are joined to signify the beautiful union of the lives of two individuals. These crunchy rings are served with Curry leaf spice blended mayonnaise.
