LumDimSum Discovery: ‘Dinner Teaser’ at Punjabi

Posted: February 18th, 2011 | Author: LumDimSum | Filed under: A Day In My Life | Tags: Lucky Street, Lumdimsum Discovery, Punjabi | 1 Comment »

Punjabi has recently released a new photo menu (click here to view) of over 25 pages packed with everything from specialty Indian drinks (they have the best Mango Lassi ever), soups, appetizers, BBQ dishes and combos, curries, vegetarian dishes, rice dishes, roti and nan bread, New Delhi famous street food including Kristen’s Kathi Roll (yup, that’s me!), South Indian dishes, Indian and Chinese fusion dishes, and traditional Indian desserts.

With a million and one options, it’s near impossible to choose out of so many dishes and still get enough variety, so Punjabi’s owner Gireesh has created a “Dinner Teaser” set menu. Perfect for two, the set dinner menu includes a six course menu highlighting Punjabi’s new menu featured items.

Punjabi’s ‘Dinner Teaser’ Set Menu:

• 2 Drinks: The Cinderella (a super strong Indian cocktail) or Mango Lassi (non-alcoholic option)

• Tamatar Ka Shorba (tomato soup)

• Masala Pappadams Appetizers (pappadams with chopped vegetables)

• Half BBQ combo order of chicken and lamb mix

• Kristen’s Kathi Rolls (Indian burritos made of BBQ’d meat, mint and tamarind sauce)

• The Thali – a special curry set served on a silver platter (available for sale worth RMB 2,188) with 5 silver bowls featuring some of Punjabi’s most popular curry dishes:
  • Butter Chicken (BBQ chicken in a tomato and cream buttery sauce)
  • Gosht Saagwala (lamb with spinach and cream)
  • Jhinga Curry (prawn curry in an onion based sauce)
  • Mix Vegetables
  • Sweet Dahi (Fresh Thick Yoghurt)

• Desserts to share: Mango Custard (made with milk and Indian Mango pulp) and “Gajar Ka Halwa” made from carrots, milk and cardamon.
