My Lovely Blogaki

Yesterday, it rained quite hard during the day, so we had lunch at home and had a dinner out.

Our intantion was to go to Balti Triangle to try somewhere new, but, for some reason, bus rarely passed and when they passed, they were too full to load any more passenger. We waited like half an hour in vain, and decided to go to a restaurant near our house.



This is the place we went. It is called Kashmir Cottage and they offer Pakistani Kashmiri food. I had been there twice in the past, and had good meal on both occasions.






This was our starter (we got only one dish to share): stuffed chili. They contained yellow potato-mash with bits of vegetable, and deep-fried in besan flour batter. They were fairly hot, and very good. The side salad was in big portion, and included in the price (£2.50).







Dim wanted to eat kebab, and I chose this for him as the closest thing: Chicken shashlik. I like this dish, and I ordered the same on previous two occasions. The burnt vegetable also tasted nice.

It came with a big potion of salad on a separate plate.






This is Baingan Bhartha: baked aubergine cooked with onion, tomato and spices. Nice, but bit too much salt to my taste. Besides, I thought the spices killed the delicate flavour of aubergine. It just became a spice and oil mash.



I had them with staffed paratha. I am not sure with what substance it was stuffed. Something yellow and paste-like. Maybe mashed potato. It was nice, but for the aubergine dish, rice would have been the better choice.

We went out completely stuffed. Nice food and good service. Satisfactly.
