Modern Indian Creations
I don't just stick to the rulebook. Here is where I mix traditional Mughlai spices with textures that actually surprise you, like crunchy panko and creamy, chili-infused sauces.
A close-up of my Green Chili Malai Prawns. I braise succulent Andaman prawns in a rich butter cream sauce infused with green chili, then finish it with scallions and chili oil for a dish that is both creamy and spicy.
For this dish, I give the delicate River Sole fish a crunchy, buttery panko breadcrumb crust. It's baked and served over a bed of grilled tomatoes and onions, creating a wonderful mix of textures and flavors.
About Modern Indian Creations
My Panko Masala River Sole isn't just fish—it's a play on a classic where the crunch of the breadcrumbs fights the tenderness of the river sole, all set against a bed of smoky grilled vegetables. It’s what I cook when I want to see if you can handle a little experimentation with your Mughlai dinner.
Look, I love a classic Seekh Kebab as much as anyone, but sometimes the palate needs a shake-up. These dishes are my personal playground where I step away from the traditional tandoor to try something new. The Panko Masala River Sole, for instance, takes the delicate profile of river fish and gives it a buttery, panko-crumbed crust that holds up better than a standard fry. It sits on grilled onions and tomatoes to keep the earthy, classic Mughlai base strong.
Then there’s the Green Chili Malai Prawns. It’s a study in balance—using the sharp heat of fresh green chilies to cut through the richness of a heavy cream sauce. These dishes aren't about being fancy; they’re about being interesting. Whether you order these for a weekend treat in Greater Kailash or want something different for a small party at home, these creations hold their own against the heavy hitters like Dal Shikhara. You can get these delivered or sit down at my place in GK 1, but I recommend eating them fresh to keep that crunch exactly where it should be.
