Mineority By Saby — Restaurant in Pune

Mineority by Saby - a restaurant with a noteworthy theme of mining. It is in actuality a great consideration and tribute to the miners of the world - who actually put their lives at risk and work in the mine fields. Someone coming up with a theme such is quite fascinating in itself. 😃

What surprised me was they offered us a complimentary dish which was the LALOO ALOO SAMOSA. Samosa is a well-known street food - and a restaurant being able to bring a difference to it was commendable. This was served with the traditional ghugni. This was lip-smackingly good. The exteriors were crispy, deep fried with a stuffing of spicy mashed aloo. And to note it was in the shape of gujiya and not the usual samosa shape. We were so excited about the dish - that only half way through we realized there was no picture of the dish. 😋 So here you go. The KALIPONG CHILI CHEESE ROLLS were delicious - thin crispy sheets filled with dripping Kalimpong cheese and chopped coriander leaves served with a tangy sauce. It was yummy-licious! Looked so delicate... They were out of JHANJWALA PRAWNS and some other dishes which we wanted to order - this was disappointing. 😒 The manager suggested we try the HILL CORIANDER SICHUAN PRAWNS - served in a sizzling pan with prawn crackers. It was an absolute delight - stir fried prawns in a bed of gravy with fantastic flavors garnished with coriander and sukhi lal mirch. Waah....ahaaa!! 😋 The TRIBAL FISH AND CHIPS were notable - do not go by the appearance. 😆 I must have tried fish and chips in a trillion places, but nothing like this. It was more like a dish that is cooked commonly among the Odias/Bengalis called Patua - except the leaf coating stayed. The specialty was the Betki fish wrapped in a patra leaf and drizzled with mustard sauce. This was served with tamarind dips and potato wedges. The leaf gave it crispy exteriors and as you dig in, you would unearth the soft delicious fish.😎 One of a kind! The TUPULA WRAPPED CHICKEN and CHIPS was slightly disappointing, given the array of dishes that they had served till now were absolutely flawless. It was almost burnt - I am not sure how they served it, it appeared burnt and tasted burnt - the chicken pieces were grilled in the leaf wrap, served with potato wedges and chilly salsa. 😕 The SMOKED JUNGLE WRAPPED PANEER - was the vegetarian version of the above with well marinated char-grilled paneer - this was one had distinct flavors, the paneer was soft and luscious. The IMPERIAL RANGOON KHAO KUEY - made in coconut curry with flat rice noodles and topped with fried onions, peanuts, gravy and few other vegetables - it looked quite tempting. But it did not win me on the taste front. Served in a bone china covered with a mithi ka dhakan - serving pattern was impressive. I must mention - the variety of cutlery they used to serve the food was really eye-catchy.💗 The SHILLONG MYLONG CHICKEN - another stellar dish of the day. Served on a banana leaf were these heavenly juicy succulent, well-cooked chicken chunks in a delicious gravy. There was heavy usage of panch phodan and sukhi lal mirch - spicy and hot. This was to be had with pav, which was sort of new but interesting combination. 😀 The CACCIATARO PIZZA was thin crust hand rolled, stone baked pizza with a divided portion of chicken chunks, mushrooms, jalapenos and capsicum with the tasty spread on the pizza. Finely done. The perfect accompaniment for all food were these unconventional mocktails - the drinks were amazing - no complaints at all in that genre. The TRES LECHES CAKE - a three-layered milk cake in a bed of thick condensed milk and heavy on the cream. It had a topping of a beautiful dark chocolate in the shape of a leaf. 😜😇 It was moist and the texture was just perfect. The JURASSIC CHEESECAKE was a cheesy smooth, soft and spongy dessert but way too sweet. It was topped with guaja flakes - it was a nice twist added to the thick layered cheese cake having a mixture of condensed milk and whipped cream.

The place screams innovation in terms of decor, cutlery, and...

It may be eaten with yogurt, baigan bharta, alu bharta, and papad. #Musttry

The Jurassic cheesecake was made up of chenna poda (early stage of cottage cheese) topped with a layer of custard and crushed guaja flakes. This is just Brilliant in taste. #MustHave

Dehati Cookies n Cream: It is one of the oldest recipe preserved for the generations in mining community. An all-American postdinner snack of cookies and cream finds a ‘dehati’ avatar — the biscuits are Bihari, a shortbread called thekua, of wheat flour, jaggery, coconut and cardamom, besides lashings of ghee. These are served with gaja, another East Indian revelation of flaky pastry, alongside a saffron-spiced tumbler of cream and condensed milk...
