Daniel and I went shopping this weekend and wandered into a place call Aamchi Pao for dinner.
Aamchi Pao “Mumbai Street Food on a New York Block”. Seriously if this is what its like in India—I definitely want to go one day.
Aamchi Pao is a small spot dedicated to the Mumbai street food. Pao (pronounce pow) is a soft, white roll, buttered and served with many spicy choices. Such as, “Vada Pao”, a heavy potato fritter and spicy coconut garlic chutney. The fritters are wonderfully spiced, where you can taste the chilies, ginger, turmeric and mustard seeds. Put these things all together and you get “Pao Sliders”.
Besides the sliders, a high recommendation is Cauliflower Manchurian. This is a very simple but heavily spiced vegetable (almost stew-like), it’s a mix of sweet, spicy and sticky flavors all at once.
We also tried the Chicken Tikka Kathi Roll; it was good, but a little dry for me—it needed some sort of chutney to wake it up a bit. It’s a tandoori chicken with, mint chutney (that I could not taste) and roasted onions.
BTW: The word “pao” is a Portuguese word. I can’t wait to go back and try more.
