Its predominantly vegetarian dishes are much lighter and fresher in comparison to the heavier meatier options that are found in northern India. Many popular dishes such as the Idli and Uthappam are made using lentil and rice flour. Try the famous Mysore Masala served with coconut chutney. POTL I Hammersmith GA NA PATI Peckham The explosive flavours featured in Potli's menu allow you to go on an evocative journey around the marketplaces of India. Quality ingredients and traditional cooking methods are the secret to Potli's success. Its chefs roast and grind over 35 fresh spices every day. The Chicken 65 (chunks of chicken breast covered in a light batter, fried and seasoned with black peppercorns and curry leaves) is a house special. A south Indian gem in the city, with the locals regarding it as one of the best in town. The food is influenced by the home-style cooking and street food found in the lush green and coastal areas of Kerala and Karnataka. As well as a good choice of fragrant and subtly spiced seafood and fish curries, the traditional Indian Thali is delicious. The small seasonal menu changes every couple of months. October 2016 BALANCE TH E R EGEN CY CLU B Queensbury This classic Indian hotspot might be a little distance from the centre of town, but it's well worth the journey. It started as a members-only club and now offers a fusion cuisine inspired by Indians, who settled in Kenya over 100 years ago. Its delicious grilled meats and spicy kebabs, which have been marinated for 24 hours, have just the right blend of spices for the palate. 55
