Lunch at Imbiss, Bandra
I've wanted to visit this quaint German eatery for a while now and I got the chance today.
The place is very small and compact but the food lived up to its hype. The menu is impressive and includes a variety of sausages, schnitzels, roasts and pork and beef dishes.
We tried the Lamb and Mint sausage, the Beef burger and Pork rind. But the star of the lunch and my personal favorite was the Milanesa Nepolitana. It was basically ham stuffed with cheese, crumbed and deep fried till crisp. It came with a side of slaw and creamy mashed potatoes, probably the best one I have had till date. The crumbed ham was crisp and golden and was oozing with melty cheese. It was the perfect dish.
Korean cooking.
My Father from his recent trip to Korea got me two tubs of Korean pastes. One was the traditional Gochujang with is a red chilli paste and the other was Ssamjang which is a black bean paste.
The pastes by themself are very strong. So I marinated some Sea Bass fillets in the two pastes and cooked them in the oven with some thinly sliced ginger and garlic slices. The sugars the the pastes caramelized beautifully in the oven and candied the ginger and the garlic and the fish was cooked to perfect. It was a simple dish but with a complex mix of flavours. I would definitely make it can. It would work great with chicken or prawns too.
