Bhaji On The Beach

It may look like the ubiquitous Indian takeaway joint from the outside, but step inside and you’ll think again as the smells of cardamom, pepper, coconut and tomato greet you. Bringing southern India to the northern beaches, Bhaji is uniquely positioned. Mini masala dosa are expertly prepared, the wafer-thin rice and lentil crepes stuffed with spiced potato, followed by a stand-out chicken chettinad curry with its delicate composition of hot black pepper, coconut and curry leaves. Equally impressive is the Kerala prawn curry, a gutsy dish of tomato, mustard seeds, onions and coconut. Follow the feast with a waddle on the beach.
