Unified Flavours by Chef Ashish Sanyal at Baluchi, The LaLiT

Modern Indian food is quite a difficult deal to create. Although the flashing trickery that has been employed in quite a few number of places, it’s created more confusion than fusion. What modern Indian food deserves is keeping the essence and flavours intact while introducing newer textures and styles of cooking. So, when Chef Ashish Sanyal who handles the kitchens at the LaLiT Bangalore was presenting Unified Flavours of India at Baluchi at their Delhi property, we headed off for a tete-a-tete with Chef and try out some of his wondrous samplings.

What all we tried out at Unified Flavours

One of the first dishes that I try is the Idli served with a dash of Masala that kickstarts your palate into action before the cool crunch of water chestnuts comes along with a dash of Green chutney. The next dish makes an even bigger splash. Tacos made with pulled pieces of Raan that are juicy and flavourful till the last morsel. Combined with the crispy Tacos and the tangy Salsa laid on top of it, it’s something that you’ll definitely fall in love with.

The star dishes at Unified Flavours

The mains includes a Mahi Tikka served on a Bed of Quinoa which is served like a quintessential Lemon Rice. Served with a Moilee Sauce, the combination explodes on your palate with clean cut flavours that lingers for quite a long time. But the star of the show is the Dakshini Chaap. A lamb chop marinated with the typical Chettinad Masala and served in a sauce made by dehydrating Sambhar and adding a dollop of coconut milk to give it a smoother texture and edge out the tanginess. It is served with an Arancini made with Lemon rice and the combination of flavours makes for a traditional meal down South, albeit served in a modern way.

We end our meal with a Lehsun(Garlic) ki Kheer along with a Paan(Betel Leaf) Barfi. Not only are the dishes so characteristic of the regions they originate from, this meal makes for one experience that you must attempt at least once.

We headed over to @evenkeelasolas in Fort Lauderdale to try out some fresh seafood, offering a modern take on Floridian Coastal cuisine. The restaurant has a casual yet trendy ambiance, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It's located on one of the numerous piers dotting Fort Lauderdale's waterways  We tried out the Oysters served with hot sauce, tarragon and lime along with a smoked fish dip and a shrimp ceviche. We followed it up with Himachi Poke Gyoza Tacos, grilled Octopus and a hot Lobster Roll. We finished it of all with a gigantic Bloody Mary.  #snsxusa #saltandsandals #foodphotography #foodblogger #travelwriter #travelwithme #traveldiaries #florida #miami #fortlauderdale

I am never a fan of getting myself clicked but a tryst with history had a fan girl moment in me.
🏵️
During my graduation in history from Delhi University, I was a big fan of Roman history. So when I was actually in a historical place right out of my books, I couldn't stop myself from getting?

Often listed amongst the best beaches in the world, Anse Lazio in Praslin, Seychelles truly open gates to altogether new world. And let me tell you, reaching here was quite a journey. One has to reach the bottom of the hill to Zimbabwe either by car or bus, then one has to trek over a large forested jungle clad hill and along some way before you reach the beach. But the journey is well worth the effort with views that take your breath away perfect with fine white sands and gorgeous turquoise waters that are so clear you can watch the fish swim around you, it's no surprise Anse Lazio is frequently called 'the best beach in the world'.

Sniffing is one of the essential steps to enjoying the flavour of any new drink. Sniffing opens up a new array of flavours that you can experience on your palate.

When traveling, definitely discover a Beverage destination. We headed to the @Takamaka Rum Seychelles distillery with @Creole Travel Services where we fell in love with the slow pace, exquisite beach and two barrel aged rums. The Extra Dark is aged twice, first in French Oak and then in reused Bourbon casks for three years and the St. Andre which has been aged for eight years in American Bourbon casks. Which one should we get back for tasting?
