I’m always on the lookout for a great collaboration dish or better yet, a secret off menu find and this time, @dishoompermitroom has absolutely delivered.
I’m always on the lookout for a great collaboration dish or better yet, a secret off menu find and this time, @dishoompermitroom has absolutely delivered. Two iconic chefs @chefcalum (The Pastry King) and @chefrishianand (The @dishoom Menu Mastermind) have come together to create a limited edition fusion masterpiece, and I was lucky enough to try it first: the Pulled makhani Chicken Ruby Curry Pie
This isn’t listed on the menu, it’s very much an “if you know, you know” situation, with only a limited number available each day. Super exclusive and utterly delicious. There’s something delightfully unexpected about being served a comforting, home style pie with garlic dill mash and mushy peas in an Indian inspired restaurant. But once that generous amount of rich Ruby curry sauce comes into play, it all makes perfect sense. I was hooked from the first bite. The pastry is beautifully done, the chicken is tender and flavourful, and the curry brings a deep, indulgent richness that ties everything together. It’s a classic British dish reimagined with a bold Indian twist and it works brilliantly
To go with it, I had a Mango Lassi Punch made with rum, sweet, refreshing, and with just the right kick. It paired perfectly with the richness of the pie and added a fun, tropical twist to the whole experience
Available until 19th April at all Permit Room locations. 12pm-5pm It’s first come, first served, so be sure to ask your server when you visit. At £14.90, it’s worth every penny. A little top tip: order a garlic cheese naan on the side to soak up all that incredible sauce… incredible! thank me later 👍🏼
I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
