It's my third day (Monday) in London! I ate my Tyburn Market haul in the hotel room and had the rest in my backpack for lunch. I spent most of the day inside the humongous British Museum. Then, I spent about an hour inside the British Library.
For late lunch or supper, I decided to walk to the Dishoom location in King's Cross. My husband's co-author, based in England, highly recommended this restaurant. Dishoom did not disappoint.
The menu does not have the usual Indian menu I see in Vancouver, so I am uncertain what to get. I asked the bartender what items were saucy and good for dipping. He recommended the Phaldari Kofta, labelled "Chef's KX Godown Special." I also ordered the Dishoom Chicken Tikka because it is something familiar.

Phaldari Kofta from Dishoom Delicious dumplings stuffed with vegetables, paneer, nuts, and raisins in rich home-style sauce topped with pomegranate and julienned ginger. A flaky, buttery naan sits beside for mopping. |
The Phaldari Kofta is sweeter than expected, which works perfectly well with naan bread. Meanwhile, the chicken tikka is spicier, so they work well together. My only regret is not ordering it with rice.

Dishoom Chicken Tikka from Dishoom A family recipe using a marinade of sweet vinegar, not yogurt. Laced with ginger, turmeric, garlic, and green chilli. |
I want to order more food, but I cannot finish everything. Yay for delicious food!
