A la Carte Menu
Moti Mahal’s à la carte menu, while constantly evolving with the seasons, is essentially inspired by chef ‘Ani’s’ ongoing research into the long-forgotten recipes of rural India as found on the old Grand Trunk Road - a 2500km, 16th-century artery of power connecting Kolkata with Varanasi, Delhi and Amritsar before curling north into Pakistan.
Nostalgic favourites include ‘bhalla papadi chaat’, a teatime dish discovered in the streets of North India featuring crisp-fried pastry and chickpeas with a tamarind and mint chutney. Qabali Seviyan, derived from the Northwest Frontier, features vermicelli and masala chicken tossed with pine nuts and baked with egg custard.
The current menu celebrates the festivals of the Grand Trunk Road, from Syrian Christian events to major public holidays. True to Indian custom, there is no distinction between starters and main; instead, dishes are delivered in fluid succession as they are prepared.
