National Curry Week is almost upon us, and London’s most popular curry spot is celebrating the occasion in style. Dishoom will be making some major changes to its iconic menu from Monday, October 7, introducing new dishes and axing a few existing items. The Bombay-inspired restaurant group, which has locations across the capital , as well as in Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Manchester , has shared a look at some of its brand new treats including a dessert made with Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
Yum! More than 650 dishes were tested and sampled by the group’s chefs in order to pick the best for the launch, with highlights including a Goan Monkfish Curry (£17.90). To make it, monkfish is simmered in coconut, tamarind, tomatoes and kokum to create a hot and sour sauce — which Dishoom claims will make for a nice contrast to their creamer signature dishes like the Black Daal and Chicken Ruby.
There’s also going to be a ‘gratifying’ new Chicken and Mango Salad (£13.90) made with spiced malai chicken, ripe mango, broccoli, seeds, and fresh green leaves, dressed with mango, lime, and chilli. Plus ‘velvety’ Makhmali Paneer from the grill, served with fried cashews and pomegranate.
A new ‘Irani classic’ is also making its way on to the small plates menu — Keema Pau (£9.50). This is an aromatic minced lamb dish, with peas, dill and lindi pepper, served with slices of toasted, buttered pau.
And for those with a sweet tooth, you’ll soon b.
