A Taste of Dum Pukht at Awadh

by Desha Winborne

Dum Pukht is a cooking technique developed in the Awadh region of India. Using a tightly sealed pot, vegetables and meats are prepared over low heat with a mixture of herbs and spices.  Slow cooking allows the flavors to develop and mature to their highest potency. We experienced Dum Pukht via a small intimate soiree in Awadh, an upscale Indian eatery on NYC’s upper west side.  Guests enjoyed specially prepared Kebobs, an array of roasted meats and Biryanis which are standard for a proper Dum Pukht feast. All dishes were crafted by accomplished restauranteur and chef Gaurav Anand.

Restaurant Review: Haldi Indian Cuisine

by Desha Winborne

Location: 102 Lexington Avenue

Cuisine: Indian

Items: 1 appetizer, 4 curries, 2 cocktails, 1 bread

Best Dish: The chicken kabob is a great appetizer it revs up the appetite for all the savory entrees offered by Haldi. The meat is warm and there is something magical about the sound of a sizzling platter that just makes you salivate.

Overall: The space is warm friendly and relaxed with a family oriented energy. It is a good place or a meal with family and friends alike. It is a good place to take someone who is new to Indian cuisine as the menu offers a description of each dish as well as a simple to follow key for spiciness and universal appeal.

Restaurant Review: Mirch Masala

by Desha Winborne

Location: 95 MacDougal Street

Cuisine: Indian

Items: 2 appetizers, 2 Tandoori plates, 2 curries, 1 bread, 1 dessert

Best Dish: Indian food is easy to get in NY but good Naan isn’t and the naan here is excellent. It is fresh and served warm. You must also help yourself to any of the curries the spice mix used is all flavor without the tongue blasting heat you would expect from Indian food.

Overall: Great food and friendly atmosphere

Restaurant Review: Chote Nawab

by Desha Winborne

Location: 115 Lexington Avenue New York, NY

Cuisine: Authentic Indian

Items: 2 small plates, 2 entrees, 3 cocktails

Cost: 0 (With 20% tip)

Best Dish: The curried goat is by far the best we’ve had in the city. The meat was spicy and savory. The tender chunks of goat meat melt in your mouth, and the spiciness can be adjusted according to your preference.

Overall: A chic sophisticated alternative to the usual Indian restaurant.
