Kishmish unveils new dishes for National Curry Week

13th-19th October is National Curry Week in Britain. Now in its 17th year, the event celebrates Britain’s favourite dish while raising money to combat poverty through a variety of special dinners, record-breaking attempts, raffles and auctions.   To celebrate National Curry Week, Fulham’s Indian restaurant Kishmish has added new curries to their menu, created by head chef Cruz Gomes and his team. Opened since 1966 dishes include:

• Nariyal Ka Gosht: Diced lamb cooked in lime leaf masala, baked in a fresh coconut served with basmati rice
• Murghabi Masalam: Pan-grilled guinea fowl supreme with garlic and fresh chillies, served with homemade risotto
• Murgh Chettinad: Diced chicken breast cooked in warm south Indian coastal spices, served with a dosa cone

More information about the new menu can be found on the restaurant’s website at www.kishmish.biz The kitchen team at Kishmish boast impressive experience in Indian cuisine, with chef Cruz Gomes having worked at Zaika and Ginger restaurants as well as training with the Taj Hotels group in India. Kishmish honours the roots of traditional Indian cuisine, and combines this with young ambition to craft a contemporary menu that is creative, refined, and beautifully presented. Diners can enjoy brand new dishes for autumn, with starters including Bhune Rattan (spice dusted pan-seared scallops, garlic and chilli mash, with coconut and lime leaf jus), and Murgh Tikka Trio (chicken marinated in mint and coriander, goats cheese and peppercorn, and picking spices). New main dishes for autumn run from Tandoori Baby Chicken (char-grilled poussin marinated in ginger and chilli, roasted cumin potatoes, and tempered black lentils), to the chef’s special pan-seared stone bass, with curried capers, leeks, and onion mash. The restaurant’s interior matches the modern ambition of the food with a brand new look. Brightly coloured walls are complemented by a ‘Darjeeling’ design on the feature wallpaper, and diners can be seated below a large skylight in the main dining room.
