No onion, no garlic in this food
VEGETARIANISM IS in vogue, and Maneka Gandhi has yet another reason to be elated. Suruchi - a vegetarian specialty restaurant in Karol Bagh adds a traditional untampered flavour to the palate of all those who love their vegetables. Specialising in traditional Rajasthani and Gujarati thalis, and Bombay specialties, the restaurant is hosting a Jain Food Festival till this coming Monday to celebrate the festival of Pajjusan, the most important festival of the Jain community. This festival boasts of a number of traditional Jain dishes like Mung Masala, Mung Ugela, Mung Chana, Mung Ki Dal, Mung Ka Pani, Kaju Vaal Dal, Maught Ugela, Dal Dhokli, Vatanna Green, Vatanna White, Papad Meethi, Veg. Rajastani Robodi, Kersangri, Gunda, Kumuthiya, Gutta Ki Subzi, and snacks like Dal Samosa, Dal Vada, Mung Dal Kachori, Bati Dhokla, and Barfi Dhokla, and each one of them being anything but drab, pretty impressive especially when they're not allowed to use onion, garlic, potato, or green vegetables.
With more and more people making a beeline for vegetarian and thus supposedly healthy food, "the response that we've got over the past year has been very good," asserts Kamlesh Parekh, director of Suruchi as well as Hotel Swati and Shuddh - vegetarian food court, which are sister ventures. This traditional eat-out at Ajmal Khan Road with its exclusive Rajasthani kitchen crew, also offers lucrative enticements to its customers in the form of a complimentary Mehendiwala who sits there every evening and valet parking, and customised bangles and earthen pots at a reasonable price. The food itself is priced at Rs.115 per thali with a special children's thali for Rs.60 for kids below 12 years.
Step into Suruchi and you will immediately warm up to the homelike ambience of the place with simply but tastefully decorated walls and Gujarati ceilings. Served by traditionally attired people, with an express service, take care never to leave any of your bowls empty, because that is an indication that you need a re-fill.
