There’s nothing wrong with eating alone, but experiencing delicious dishes is a culinary journey best savored with company. Few cuisines lend themselves to sharing like Indian and where better to enjoy the different flavors, rich spices and tantalizing textures than Asha’s.
If you have never heard of Thali, you are in for a treat. A Thali refers to a large round metal tray or the meal served on it. Traditionally the plate should include six different flavours; sweet, salty, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy. Asha’s has just launched two specially developed Thali’s; vegetarian and chicken. Both dishes include Bhindi Masala or Aloo Matar
Gobhi, Dal Makhani, Biryani Rice, Butter Naan and Gulab Jamun. The vegetarian option features Vegetable Samosas and Paneer Makhni while the chicken option features Murg Malai Kebab and Murg Makhni (AKA the bestselling Butter Chicken).
Thalis are the perfect way to taste lots of different options and enjoy them all without feeling overstuffed. The balance between the six flavors and tastes offers even the most discerning connoisseurs a delightful treat. The combinations in the dishes are designed to contrast but also complement each other. The smaller but multiple portions are cute but ohso satisfying.
Asha’s menus are extensively well-thought out and the utmost care is given to ensure an incomparable experience. The freshest ingredients of highest quality are sourced and used for authentic taste. The chefs are not only experienced and talented at creating culinary masterpieces but also at plating them like artwork.
If you are more excited about splitting a meal, then the sharing platters are there for you.
The eponymous Asha’s Sharing Platter is a selection of fan-favorites. Cheese Samosa, Chicken Tikka, Samosa, Aloo Matar Ki Tikki, Tandoori Tikka and Kheenga Naar.
