Re: [silk] Indo-Mexican fusion restaurants and recipes

Hello Thaths, Avatars is my favorite restaurant in the Bay Area. I'll make a trip to Sausalito especially to eat there. The food is wonderful, they call it Marindian :-) The enchiladas are my favorite, covered in a tamarind and yoghurt sauce. A wonderful blend of Mexican/Indian food. You can sit

You and I should do a Mexican-Indian fusion dinner some time. I'll probably be in Sydney sometime in the next month or so, or next time you're in Melbourne... -- Charles On 21 October 2015 at 18:07, Thaths wrote: > On Wed, Oct 21, 2015 at 6:02 PM Thaths

Unamas is a great restaurant - do check out their beans bowl without the burrito - spicy but worth giving it a shot! -Preetha. On Oct 21, 2015 6:14 AM, "Thaths" wrote: > Inspired by the biography of M.N.Roy for the last couple of years I've been > thinking of Indo-Mexican

Re: [silk] Indo-Mexican fusion restaurants and recipes

So much potential for experimentation! :) I would love to try my hand at some of these and come up with some good recipes. Perhaps a dinner soon around this theme? I have been to both Habanero and Chinita and both are far from being authentic. On 21 October 2015 at 06:14, Thaths

Re: [silk] Indo-Mexican fusion restaurants and recipes

In Mumbai, Sanchos is my favorite, closely followed by Quattro. Both these places use fresh ingredients, making the meal an absolute delight. I can't comment on authenticity though because I have no idea of what authentic Mexican food tastes like. Venky On Wed, Oct 21, 2015 at 12:37 PM Thaths

[silk] Indo-Mexican fusion restaurants and recipes

Inspired by the biography of M.N.Roy for the last couple of years I've been thinking of Indo-Mexican cuisine's possibilities. There are a handful of restaurants around the world that serve this food, but I've

Re: [silk] Indo-Mexican fusion restaurants and recipes

Habanero bills itself as "Tex-Mex" which, while potentially delicious, is not "Mexican." (It does, however look relatively authentically Tex-Mex. The proof is in the eating, anyone can write a menu.) Chinita does not look especially Mexican either. The menu looks pretty generic. "Mexican" food is

Re: [silk] Indo-Mexican fusion restaurants and recipes

I've eaten at Chinita several times. The lady who designed the restaurant, and runs it along with her husband and brother in law, is of Chinese ethnicity but lived in the US mostly. So, I guess it's reasonable to expect a certain degree of 'fusion-y-ness' in the food. Having said that, at
