Chilli Seasonss in Defence Colony came with a recommendation from a friend, accompanied by good words from a few other sources. Did it meet expectations?

Unusual circumstances not only highlighted everyday life in Italy for Karam, they also exposed him to the marriage of two unlikely partners – Indian and Italian food!

This dish was the result of having a little too much coconut milk at hand. It tasted quite nice, comforting in a way and went quite well with white rice. I daresay some Papads/Poppadoms would go well too!
