| "Street Foods by SK, a new arm to the award-winning Spice Kitchen, has been tucked into a drop-in space just off The Parade, in Margaret St. "We're doing a special kind of cooking that can't be replicated in a regular restaurant setting," says owner Ragi Dey. "The street food concept takes on different cultural influences. It replicates the foods you can buy at carts commonly found along the roadsides in India which don't have all the restaurant trappings, so the food has to be cooked fresh, on the spot and it needs to be easy to eat." Ragi's son, Chiragh, is the manager of the diner which is a giant departure from the family's elegant Spice Kitchen. He insists street food is not to be confused with the modern perception of "junky fast food". It's "fresh, mainly locally-sourced food, fast curries rather than slow braises," he says. "We use things that can be cooked quickly, tender cuts of beef, chicken and vegetables, put together while you wait," he says. "It's also an all-day thing. We can be busiest from 2-4pm, which is exactly what street food is about no sitting down at meal time, but picking up food when you need something." Chef Jaswinder "Jassi" Singh could be mistaken for a pizza chef as he twirls Indian doughs into the air to quickly form a wrap which cooks in minutes in the tandoori oven. His wonderful tandoori-baked and grilled breads envelop crisp salads and delicious Indian rubbed meats in wrap-style. Or, a must-try is an uthapam (pancake) lined with egg and filled with crisp salad and aromatic meat. The menu offers a dozen versions of lassi, plus mulligatawny, a duck, potato and coconut fork-food number with lentils, plus popular food in a bag like butter chicken pies and cardamom choc chip and orange cookies. You can eat in but most prefer to dine on the go." The Advertiser October 19th 2011 |
