Mirchi

#02-23 Esplanade Mall T. 6334 5590

I had a mega feast at Mirchi’s not too long ago. It was a nice find, a quiet and beautiful Northern Indian restaurant with an excellant menu, tucked on the second floor of the Esplanade Mall.

We had quite a spread. For starters, we had a chat made of a chickpeas and a light vinaigrette dressing. It was a nice way to jump start the appetite. The tandoori lamb shank (above) was beautifully grilled. It had a lovely flavour, smoky but not dry. The masala chicken was served with a rich gravy that was excellent for dipping the naans (Indian bread) into. The bindi (ladies fingers) stir-fry was done with a very light hand – there was a crunch in the vegetable still unlike a lot of Indian vegetable dishes, which are usually cooked to a mush. We had to complete the meal with a dessert of course – kulfi or Indian ice-cream, that surprisingly was not too sweet like most Indian desserts. It was an altogether very satisfying meal.
