Indian Dinner @ Delhi Grill, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur.

After an over emphasis on Japanese food as of late, it is time to give some love to a cuisine that was not really represented alot : Indian! Fancy some proper Indian street food locally? Then, we have got you covered!

A peek inside

Like many Brickfields food outlets, Delhi Grill serves a vast array of Indian treats. but what sets this place apart is that there is a big emphasis on street food. Chaat and flat breads are a big highlight here. And the decor is simple and basic, reflecting its food. But what comes on your plate would be something incredible.

Time for some DIY

I like all things crunchy. So having chaat with purri is always a plus point for me. If you want something very herbal and zesty, the panni purri would fit you just nicely. I like the vinegar-like panni, which then becomes a torrent of flavour in your mouth.

Stunner

If you want something more cooling, then the yogurt filled dahi purri would be a preferred choice. I personally preferred the yogurt filled version. Unlike the panni purri, this one also has chick peas filled in it. Also, it was already assembled, rather than the DIY you need to execute for panni purri.

What a monster!

If you are really into your purri style appetizers, then the chaat basket is a must have. it was like a the dahhi purri kicked into overdrive. Loaded with yogurt and chickpeas, this was an absolute gem and for a small eater, could easily be a meal on its own.

Messy, but good. 

What if you are not into purri? Then a recommended pick would be the palak ki chaat, which is a spinach chaat dish that really satisfies. And you guessed it, there is alot of chickpeas in here too. It is inevitable really, as beans and lentils are a main protein base in Indian food. Despite that, there are variations in flavour and texture and each dish has a personality of its own.

This is a complete meal here already.

 In terms of breads, their kulcha and naan are real star makers. I personally recommend the amritsa kulcha. Loaded with flavourful veggies in the inside, it was mildly explosive and slightly tangy. A side of chickpea curry is also served to complete the meal.

Velvety smooth. 

However, if you prefer having curries, then the classic plain naan would be a better option. And speaking of saucy delights, I highly recommend the butter chicken. The sauce was velvety smooth and the chicken, despite being breast meat, was tender to the bite. There was a good amount of heat too, but not too much that it will blow your tongue away.

Bottoms up? 

And to finish off the meal, why not end it with a warm serving of masala chai? Herbal, strong yet delicate, it was a comforting drink. Well balanced if you ask me. And it was a much needed tonic for a rainy day, which it was during one of my visits.

Another peek inside. 

Overall, there is nothing much to say about this great establishment other than "I will be here again". The food is humble and honest, but truly delicious. And they have a vast array of dishes to try too.

What a selection!

 It may take a life time to try everything out but seeing that the dishes are really reasonably priced, I think it would be an achievable goal. A serving of chaat is around RM4 to RM 10, and flat breads are around that range too. Main dishes like the butter chicken float around RM15-20. It was real gourmet on a budget. Fancy a go?
