When I asked to krak Indian cuisine you can get on , my head was instantly flooded with the fond memories of the India journey I took in 2018. These eye-opening smells, flavors, people I met are still in me and this post is a great opportunity to come back to them 🇮🇳
It is difficult to find a common denominator of Indian cuisine 🤷🏻♂️ Much of what we eat out in here, i.e. rotis, naan bread , samosas, curries; palak paneer (spinach and cheese) & aloo ghobi (potatoes and cauliflower) originate from North India. However, southern Indian food is all about rice, stews, dosa, idli (steamed lentil rice cakes), saaru/rasam (tomato, tamarind and lentil soup) and huli/sambar (spicy lentil &vegetable stew).
Let’s talk about the 5 Indian spots in Kraków, two options- vegetarian & meat from each! 🔥
🍽️Indian/ Nepalese Vatti Special Soup Creamy shrimp and chicken based soup with indian Paneer cheese. More meaty than seafood-sh, very delicate. Aloo ghobi huge portion(!), great with nann, very warming. Mountain Momo-Steamed dumplings stuffed with minced chicken- rich flavour and again-considerable size full of rich taste.
🍴 Paneer palak amazing sauce, although the cheese was a bit dull in taste. Plus for a thick naan!. Chicken Briyani rice hit me with sweet-floral aroma before I taste it, served with raite sauce. The portion was 2-person-like! :O Althought a bit dry, it was very flavourful & yummy.
🍴 Dal Soup, aromatic yellow lentil soup very similar to our leguminous soups, but lighter. House special marinated Chicken Gate of India baked in a Tandoori oven prepared in a sweet & spicy sauce. For me, too sweet thanks raisins- perfect for those who are afraid of spicy flavors. But those Alook Tikki potato pancakes & peas stole my heart! So moist & bold taste that you can still spice up with corainder sauce.
🍴 Minced Mutton Keema very spicy & fat, lots of spicy smells and flavors, would go well with rice! Crispy triangular Samosas filled with vegetables were as I remembered them- wholesome and def not dry.
