Review: The bad thing about being a vegetarian in an Indian restaurant, is that you will fill up on more carbs in one meal than most people eat in a month. The good thing about being a vegetarian in an Indian restaurant is also that you will fill up on more carbs in one meal than most people eat in a month. I am not a vegetarian and love my lamb, but even so, I filled up on more carbs than most people eat in a month. Michelle, however, is a vegetarian and walked out of the restaurant feeling like a potato.
Which is exactly what the Achari Aloo feels like. Of course, that is because Achari Aloo is mostly potato. Elegantly prepared potato with chili, garlic, more chili and several other spices. There is even a faint hint of mint flavor at the bottom of it all, but you will have to taste for it fast, because once you start eating this dish, your mouth sets aflame. The potatoes are boiled to a soft and manageable consistency and are served with an order of raita to help cool your taste buds.
Throughout the entire water-guzzling meal, the delicious taste never wavers and is never drowned out.
Highly recommended Indian dish for vegetarians or people who love their potatos. My advice is skip the samosa if you plan on ordering this dish though. There are only so many potatoes one person can ingest before exploding. And you will eat until you explode because Tiffin's cooks are just that good!
