At A Taste Of India in Grants Pass, the menu opens with an enticing array of starters that immediately set the stage for a truly flavorful experience. First up is the Samosa, a beloved classic, where crisp pastry envelops a spiced potato and pea filling, offering a perfect balance of crunchy and savory. Served with tangy tamarind chutney, it’s the kind of dish that warms you up for the adventure to come.
For something a little more daring, the Palak Pakora is a must-try. Fresh spinach leaves are dipped in a seasoned chickpea batter and fried to golden perfection, creating a crispy exterior with a tender, earthy interior. The slight bitterness of the spinach beautifully contrasts with the rich, deep flavors of the spices, making each bite a delightful experience.
Another standout in the starters section is the Paneer Pakora. Soft, creamy cubes of paneer are coated in a spiced batter and deep-fried, resulting in a crispy crust that gives way to the mild, milky center. It's the perfect vegetarian option for those who crave something indulgent but light. Paired with a cooling yogurt dip, these pakoras strike a lovely balance of textures and flavors.
These starters not only showcase the vibrant spices that define Indian cuisine but also set the tone for the delicious journey through A Taste Of India’s menu. Whether you’re a long-time lover of Indian flavors or a newcomer, these dishes are the perfect way to kick off your meal.
