Very few restaurants have excelled in true sense when it comes to the city of love, Dehradun. I have been surveying many cafes and restaurants (personally as well as through various collabs and invitation) since three years but hardly could my favourite one. To be precise, I have finally found out a place that deserves "Frequent visits" of Foodicted fellow. The exquisitely designed interiors, lavish seating arrangement, artistic approach to life and rooftop cafe with breathtaking view of the Doon valley assures you with a splendid experience, altogether. But you know what, a perfect meal is what we all need to elevate this world-class experience.
I tried my luck on Mutton Keema pizza, Burmese Khao-Suey, Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, Chicken Parmigiana, Cheese Corn Jalapeno kebabs and few refreshing drinks but there are few dishes I absolutely loved binging on and would like to draw a detailed sketch on them.
Certain dishes are meant to be versatile. Be it breakfast, lunch, evening snacks or an elaborate dinner buffet, such dishes would equally play a significant role in making your meal a perfect one. Tandoori Mushroom is one such dish that can be treated as a versatile dish that one can savour at any particular time.
Lets get to know the "Auric" style of Tandoori Mushroom a little bit more. The first step is known to all and back in my home, I used to have fun, dissecting the stems of mushroom. Ginger garlic paste, cashew nut paste, English Cheddar cheese and fresh cream are mixed in a container as the marinade for mushrooms. Chilli sauce, oil and "Swaad-anusaar" salt must be mixed well with the marinade and contribution of lemon juice should not be forgotten (although we at home, tend to over look it).
The marinated mushrooms are advised to be placed in a Tandoor oven, cook on medium flame until done. The serving platter at Auric looks utterly droolworthy. Every bite unfolds a cheesy affair and melange of flavours.
When cilantro hits your brunch table, remember everything turns out to be purrrfect. Today, I am in a mood to discuss about one of my favourite dishes that strikes the chord of my appetite with its elegance and deliciousness.
If you happen to be an ardent devotee of cilantro and lime, this dish will definitely be the love of your life. The lemon pepper chicken cilantro from the house of Auric is both tender and juicy, the flavours are so overwhelming that every bite contains the factor of "Yummy in my tummy".
I also suggested the concerned authority to add garlic chives as a part of garnishing to make it stand out.
You can never go wrong with this exotic combination of "Grilled fish and lemon butter sauce". Have you ever realized the contribution of lemon butter sauce which makes this dish, droolworthy in true sense. The rich buttery and zesty flavour enhances its taste and leaves you greedy for another bite.
I consider myself "Picky eater" when it comes to fishes. Over the years, Dehradun has been lacking quality restaurants to serve the best fish and guess what, I finally found one that can satiate my cravings. Auric relies on "Sole" fish (as Basa is used in most of the restaurants) exquisitely topped with buttery sauce and a zesty flavour to accompany with.
Every bite of it, is a blessing in disguise and I am definitely coming back to savour it with my friends and family.
Will definitely come back to this restaurant for trying my potluck into more delicacies.
