| otter_production Menu [all day][pos menu] [07/01/2022]-allday – The Chef’s Plate | |
| Malai Kofta Curry This one is a winner. Minced paneer with spices is made into the balls and simmered in the oh-so-good cashew-ey curry sauce. A simple yet decadent offering that can rival any soul or comfort food. Basmati rice or butter naan – now that is the million-dollar question. *Vegetarian. |
$20.00 |
| Oyster Mushroom Curry Oyster mushrooms can have different forms and still taste good. We are bringing our popular mushroom curry back for a limited time. Sautéed and Curried – Oyster Mushroom can be your new best friend in the cold freezing night. *Vegetarian. |
$24.00 |
| Makhamali Alu A simply decadent dish, Makhamali Alu is one example of- mom, I made it! A rich and silky cashew curry sauce bathes the slightly golden fried Yukon petit potatoes in the warm aroma of garlic and has only one purpose: to make you happy and keep you happy. *Vegetarian. |
$17.00 |

$15.00 |
| Chicken Chettinad Boneless Chicken is cooked in rich coconut flavored curry sauce, tempered with mustard and curry leaves. A classic dish from the Tamilnadu region reimagined. |
$23.00 |
| Butter Chicken The world cuisine, if had a showstopper – it would be Butter Chicken. Handsome boneless morsels of free-range tandoor roasted chicken swimming in the decadent onion-tomato sauce with cashew-y goodness and fresh cream: this one is a voyage to the Neverland. Any type of carb is allowed; naan is preferred. But Basmati is fine too, cos they come with it. |
$22.00 |
| Lahsuni Chicken Korma Enough cannot be said about this one – it is that good. A few steps have to be accomplished for this silky goodness – mainly involving marinating and roasting in tandoor, the boneless chicken breasts are then simmered in the rich cashew curry sauce with a fragrant waft of garlic that just keeps getting better with each bite. |
$22.00 |
| Lamb Rogan Josh This Kashmiri dish has gone through a myriad of iteration within the cultural crossovers in India and the West, but one thing that remained intact was its flavor. We have attempted to stay close to its origin and made it simpler by infusing the essence of Kashmiri Chilli that marries well into with other spices and gives us a hearty bowl of a drool-worthy lamb stew. |
$25.00 |
| Lamb Tellicherry Pepper Fry Succulent lamb curry cooked with an abundance of joy and spices; this dish has got all the boxes ticked with its wholesome flavor and fragrant exuberance of Tellicherry pepper – they are the bigger peppercorns and pack a ton of flavor and aroma, unlike our table black pepper, and it is epic. |
$25.00 |
| Pahari Goat Curry A true mountain dish from Nepal, it is one of those heritage Nepalese dishes that is the mainstay of every Nepalese kitchen the world over. A heartier version of Heritage Goat from our previous menu, we have attempted to recreate a bone-in taste without the bones. (The marrows from the bones give this dish the true identity it is supposed to have). Mostly devoured (not an understatement) with basmati rice, there is no other way to have it. |
$25.00 |
| Goan Fish Curry This fish curry comes from the way of Goa, an Indian paradise on the Western shores of the Arabian Ocean and once a bustling Portuguese colony. While there are many versions, we just stuck with the classic one – charred Scottish Faroe Island Salmon filet is bedded in the rich and silky sauce made of mostly tomato and coconut, with a generous helping of spices: this one is in the winner column by large, and we urge you to enjoy it responsibly with some Butter Naan. |
$24.00 |
| Tiger Prawn Moilee This delightfully rich and finger-licking Keralan curry is a testament of what a paradise Kerala is – strewn with coconut and palm trees, lined with miles of pristine beach, and of course abundance of Seafood. Tiger Prawn is simmered in the rich coconut sauce tempered with curry leaves and mustard seeds – seamlessly combining the spices and heat of this beautiful dish. |
$30.00 |
