| - RASHNAAAAAAAAAAAA.
hmm. it doesnt quite work as well on paper. or on the internet. but i love saying their name. when i know my wife and i are going to order takeout, from the bottom of my feet, up through my legs, through a belly growling in anticipation, do I belt out like a lion the declaration of battle that is Rashnaa.
a battle of spices and food names that swirl around your tongue like a serpent tempting you in such a way that youll never touch a piece of wonderbread again.
we have been at the restaurant once before with my niece. boy was that stupid. each bite she took was successively more torturous, as she wondered why she was crying when she wasn't the least bit sad. Yes. Rashnaa can be quite spicy, but not so much so that you cannot taste your food or anything else afterwards. you might experience a little vibration in your lips, a little fire alight in your mouth, but be sure there are yoghurty delights to temper it all, like the Mix Raita which is cucumber, tomatoes and onions in spiced beaten yogurt.
Its great to put that on your other dishes (in fact I would, at least if youre doing takeout, order 2 of them) like any of the String Hopper Kotu which is red (roasted) rice flour noodles chopped and sautéed with onion, green peppers, eggs and spices with a choice of mutton, shrimp, beef, chicken, vegetables, eggs, fish, squid or shrimp. hoowee. lots of choices. This dish is rice like in its consistency, very filling, and very tasty with any of the above. I usually get the squid.
I have also gotten the Vegetable Delight many times. This is a bunch of different veggie dishes that come with ghee basmati rice with a few different kinds of curry and more. my favorite in this combination is the cashew and green peas curry. its so creamy.
for apps or extra stuff try the egg rotty, the beef pancake roll, seafood cutlet, veggie samosa, or a mixed plate of it all.
If you get a main course dish and all the suggestions I have mentioned, you can have leftovers for the next day and keep it going and going and going...
