Chutney

This mainly Punjabi and southern Indian venue in Harris Park's Little India welcomes the diner with rose-coloured walls,comfy chocolate banquettes and the cheerful bustle of a popular local family eatery. Sev puris are a perfect starter - chickpeas,fresh coriander,tamarind,mint chutney and yoghurt served in small light shells of crisp-fried wheat puffs. Move south next for uttapam - thick rice pancake flecked with pink onions and sambar,a thin dhal soup,on the side. Back north now for tender pieces of chicken in a rich gravy fragrant with fenugreek leaves. For afters,a selection of Indian sweets - carrot halva is heavenly - and chai more than satisfy.
