Home-style Cusine at Bombay Spice
4 September 2008 | Uncategorized | No Responses
Bombay Spice serves authentic home-style recipes from India, substituting small amounts of olive oil instead ghee (clarified butter) resulting in low-fat dishes. Instead of making dishes hot and spicy, they are all prepared without the use of chilies, a spicy dish may be created by the use of one of their special sauces, Bombay hot (and it is!). Bombay Spice makes fresh chapattis daily on site using whole wheat flower. Chapattis are a staple of the Indian diet.
In India, most people can not afford to dine at restaurants and only go out to eat for significant special occasions. As a result, restaurants in India cater to this by offering dishes heavy in cream sauce prepared with a lot of ghee (clarified butter) served extremely spicy hot (by adding chilies). It is as these restaurants where you will also find Naan, a popular Indian bread not found in most of the homes in India as it requires a special oven to prepare. Bombay Spice serves home-style recipes, it is the daily cuisine of the people who live there.
