For the main course, there is Jimikand ke kofte, Gutti vankaya, Langarwali dal, Dhaba gosht, and Meen kuzhambu. All of the preparations are absolutely delectable. The Jimikand ke kofte, yam dumplings in a rich creamy gravy, is a popular vegetarian preparation from Uttar Pradesh. The Gutti vankaya, a common staple in households across the city pairs beautifully with Indian breads.

Langarwali dal, which is also known as Amritsari dal, is a traditional Punjabi dish that’s also served in gurudwaras. It’s a creamy, thick lentil gravy made using split-bengal gram and black gram. Dhaba gosht is a spicy lamb curry that draws inspiration from the mutton curries served by the roadside eateries in Punjab, while the Meen kuzhambu is a Tamil preparation in which fish is simmered with onion, tomatoes, tamarind and red chillies. Curated by head chef Raja Hedge, this one is sure to be a pet-puja.
