| Salmon Malai Tikka |
Sometimes, we don’t wait & directly get what we want.
When it comes to Indian Cuisine, we have a favourite which we have reviewed
& also visited a couple of times on our own accord.
This favourite is none other than Salt-Indian Restaurant Bar
& Grill, Bangalore & they’ve launched their new menu pretty recently.
We were invited for trying out these new menu items & as
we had expected: we were not disappointed at all.
So, this time we bring to you the latest offerings from
Salt! They have changed quite a few items on their menu but they have retained
the ones which their patrons like the most.
Most of the items we were served were tasting portions so
don’t think that’s the quantity they serve!

| Kheema Pav |
 |
| Black Eyes Peas Soup |
Since this is a post talking about the new menu in general,
we’ll not discuss in details but just let you know which ones we recommend.
We tried assorted tasting portions including classic Kheema
Pav, Tawa Mutton, Salmon Malai Tikka, Assorted kebab platter, main course &
a selection of dessert.
The Tawa Mutton is a must try. It is served on a coin
paratha & the mutton cooked with spices, tastes marvellous. Kheema Pav is
the usual & nothing to stand out except for that the Pavs are soaked with
butter.
We also tried a salad consisting of sweet potatoes &
paneer. It was very well balanced & the combination rocked!
Along with the appetizers we had a couple of drinks. Since
they were not serving alcohol at the time, we went with non-alcoholic
beverages: Watermelon cooler & a plain Mojito. Both were very refreshing.

| Kebabs |
Coming to the grilled items: The Paneer Zaitooni Malai Tikka
was fabulous. It melted in the mouth & the creamy, spicy stuffing was
marvellous. The Yellow Chilli Jhinga Kebab was juicy & mildly spicy. The
prawns used were fresh & sweet. The Kache Aam ka Chicken Tikka is a Chef
favourite & deserves to be so. The kebabs taste amazingly juicy with a mild
aroma of raw mango. A bit more could have made it better. Lastly, the Lamb
Methi Kebab is different than the usual lamb preparations we all have. It had a
slight bitter aftertaste of the Methi/Fenugreek, but retains all the flavours
of the lamb. The meat is tender & juicy.
Coming to the main course:
We recommend: Railway Mutton Curry & the Awadhi Gosht
Keema Pulao.
The mutton curry is all about a burst of flavour in each
bite. The mutton will melt in your mouth & the gravy is semi-rich. This is
not a spicy preparation & can be enjoyed with rice preps or the breads
served such as Baked Olive Naan.
The pulao tastes exquisite! We literally had the pulao
without mixing with anything else. It is so flavourful with abundance of minced
meat that it is a meal by itself.
We tried the Amchuri Bhindi Masala which was pretty good as
well.

| Dessert Platter |

| Molten Chocolate Cake |
Lastly, the dessert: the platter consists of Kesar Kulfi,
Gajar Halwa Spring Rolls & Qubhani Ka Meetha.
We don’t like the last preparation so we won’t comment on
it. The first 2 are to die for! The Kulfi has a proper creamy texture &
perfect sweetness. The spring rolls are fully stuffed with Gajar Halwa &
the richness in each bite speaks for itself.
If you visit, DO NOT forget to try the Elaneer Payasam from
the old menu. That’s something which you won’t get anywhere!
That’s our POV of Salt’s new menu & apart from the good
old items, we are sure these will impress as well.
We highly recommend a visit if you have a palate for fine
Indian Cuisine.
We’ll be back soon with more grub!
Till then—be patient & bon apetit!
