Monday, Monday...

Hello Foodies,

Okay, who ate where this weekend? Sit at any bars?

We dined at Bombay Talkie on 9th Avenue at 21st Street but not at the bar. It's a Bombay-themed restaurant that pays homage to Bollywood and Indian street food. But in Chelsea, it's high end street food and it is delicious.

We ate Bombay Bhel for starters - assorted wheat flour chips and rice puffs tossed with a salsa of lime, onions, green mangoes and mint chutney. Then we shared a Biryani - lighlty spiced chicken with mint, coriander, coconut milk with basmati rice and cashews. And Nigiri Coconut Kebabs lamb meatballs in a south indian sauce of coconut and mustard seeds. Cucumber raita and a naan plus two veggie dishes - Palaak Paneer or creamed spinach with homemade cheese and Baigan Bharta, a smoked eggplant with ginger, coriander, cumin and chilies completed the meal. We were quite full so we enjoyed a spiced hot chocolate for dessert.

Here's the link to the website: www.bombaytalkie.com

The forks went to India last February...it would be great to do a Tour de Forks to India. Any interest?

Looking forward to hearing your comments on all the above.

Cheers,

the Forks
