People who know us really well know darn well that we are a huge fan Nilgiri’s. This is the place I write about excessively on my food blog VegFusion and this is the place we take our guests and friends because we know that we’ll be looked after very well by Ajoy Joshi and his lovely wife Meera.
This time round, we took Berfu there for an exquisite meal and it was her first time at an Indian restaurant at this caliber. We asked if there was a favourite dish that stood out during the night, she said “They were all fantastic dishes, I can’t really pick one!” She loved them all basically.
Here’s what we had on the night:
Starters
Pappadums and Dips (lemon pickles, raita of the day, sweet mango & nigella marmalade)
Cauliflower and Broccoli Pakoda
Bharwan Mirch (paneer-filled banana chilli, spinach batter, garlic chutney)
Moong Dal Samosa (pepper-flavoured pastry, spiced mung lentils, mashed potatoes, tamarind chutney)
Vegetarian Mains
Zeera Aloo (chat potatoes, cumin & green chillies)
Achari Gobhi (cauliflower florettes, ‘pickling spices’ nigella & cumin, mustard oil & fresh ginger)
Sukhe Baingan Tamata Tari (baby eggplant, coriander tamarind and dry coconut sauce)
Desserts
Gulabi Jamoon
Coconut Kulfi
Mango Kulfi
