Chat Masala @ Brickfields

One thing that always fascinates me about the Indian culture is always the use of beautiful and bright colours and how clever they are in using spices to flavour their food. After a fruitful shopping adventure with the help of a friend who is familiar with the place, we head off to Chat Masala to fill up our tummies :) The food here is all vegetarian.

Loved the spiciness and sourish taste of rasam. The ones here are pretty good. Rasam is known as comfort food and is believed to help with digestion and sinus. My sinus did feel better after taking this.

Had a first taste paneer somewhere last year and liked it. This time instead of having it with pureed spinach, we had it with butter masala. The sauce is pretty thick and would go well with bread or rice but will be overwhelming if eaten by its own.

The Vegetarian Mutton Briyani was just alright for me. They did not stinge on the briyani ingredients as the rice was well flavoured and there were visible amounts of cashew nuts, raisins and mock mutton. The portion was pretty big as well.

The highlight of this dinner is this Panipuri. It is a little snack that consists of a very small puri stuffed with potatoes, peanuts, muruku and some herb paste. Just dip it into lightly flavoured tamarind liquid and pop it into the mouth. It was bursting with flavours coming from the peanuts, muruku and curried potatoes.

Noticed one of the tables ordered this fishball look a like in spicy soup. Turns out that this is Sambhar Idli. Idli is made from rice and black lentils. The sambhar here is excellent, thick and full of flavour.

Mango lassi was rich, smooth and thick here. Well worth ordering :)

Brickfields is a hidden gem in the city. There are plentiful shops selling beautiful sarees and punjabi suits, jippas for men and a lot of beautiful accessories like bangles. A surprising thing about buying punjabi suits is that they only have it in large sizes and only in one size. It needs to be tailored to suit your size. It took me less than five minutes for alteration and it only cost RM10. Workmanship is excellent as it fits just nicely at the first time!
