From Mangalore to Delhi’s Table

Food has an uncanny way of transporting us. A single bite can take us to a vibrant street, a quiet kitchen or even the shores of a distant coast. At Chor Bizarre Chef Shriya Shetty’s Mangalorean pop-up did exactly that, bringing the soothing flavours of Mangalore to the heart of Delhi.

The vegetarian journey began with THINDI, the Jowar Tartlet filled with red amaranth cooked in coconut milk and topped with bajeel (tempered beaten rice). This delicate appetiser was a celebration of earthy, creamy flavours and contrasting textures.

KUNDAPUR featured the 7-Hour Mushroom Ghee Roast, served in Bombay pao with ridge gourd tzatziki, pomegranate and cilantro. The slow-cooked mushrooms were rich and spiced, beautifully balanced by the refreshing tzatziki.

The BAFAT offering, Mangalorean Sweet Potato Bafath, came with sannas and tamarind reduction. This dish delivered a balance of sweetness and tanginess, made complete by the softness of the sannas.

The vegetarian MAINS, served thali-style, included Kori Roti, Peas and Potato Gassi, Red Amaranth Raita, Ridge Gourd Chutney, Raw Banana and Carrot Sukkha, Ghee Rice and accompaniments like yoghurt and pickle. The comforting gassi and crispy kori roti were the highlights, offering a fulfilling and balanced experience.

For non-vegetarian diners, the 7-Hour Chicken Ghee Roast from KUNDAPUR packed a flavourful punch, while the Mangalorean Pork Bafath from BAFAT delivered tangy notes with the sannas and tamarind reduction. The MAINS featured the classic Chicken Gassi, Chicken Sukkha and Ghee Rice, completing the hearty thali.

The meal ended on a sweet note with the DESSERT, a warm, buttery Ghee Cake paired with luscious Banana Mousse, cacao nibs and a tangy pickle drizzle.

Chef Shriya Shetty’s pop-up offered a delightful way to explore Mangalorean culture through its comforting curries, distinct spices and unique pairings. Whether you choose the vegetarian spread or the meatier options, each dish brought the flavours of Mangalore alive in every bite.
