Nearly all of us have had a traditional problem of sharing our TV screen time with our family. I guess in the times of OTT & multiple devices that's also something which is now under the heading "Ah! Those were the Days".
One series though which made us overcome thise quarrels & made us stick our TV's without having to fight over the dominance of the remote.
That was " MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA".
When you look at the pictures which I have posted, I won't hold you guilty if u think these are pics of dishes plagiarized from the show.
But lo behold, you don't have to make a long journey Down Under to experience these dishes. You can actually feast on these at our very own Porvorim.
This is the Visual & Gastronomic treat offered "LEMON CHILLI" Porvorim.
A quaint place with fairly standard ambiance, the hero of the show is the food.
The look of the food mesmerizing itself, what takes it to stratospheric level is the way Chef Ranjit Thakur deconstructs & describes it. If you really want to experience passion & deep love for his art you need to just sit & listen to this guy talk about his food.
The quirky fusion combinations are nothing like I have ever experienced before.
For starters we had;
Besan Tofu Chilli (Humble Besan paired with Chinese delicacies) makes an exciting combination which melts in your mouth with a perfect balance of silky smooth Tofu, with kick of Chilli & grounding of Besan.
Prawns & Crab Puri gave a different twist to our beloved chat served with our Sea Food Favourites.
Prawns Plancha was another combo of juicy crunchiness with a delicious sauce that not just retains but elevates the flavour of the Prawns.
Raw Banana fries were also a nice accompaniment, much unlike the Banana Chips we were expecting.
Main Course: It was a bit tough to have much after so many starters.
On Chef's insistence we had the
Pan Seared Fish (Modso) with Clam Sauce (Tisreo). Generally, as a Goan you don't really take experimentation with your staple Fish very kindly. This eclectic combo was something else though. The fish was seared just perfectly & the clam sauce complimented the taste rather than overpower it.
Dessert: Deconstructed White Chocolate Lava with Cherries was another sweet, tangy combination which was like cherry on top (pun unintended) to finish of the meal.
