Peanut Masala

No ratings yet
Dishoom is a restaurant we've been wanting to go to for a while. We have their cookbook and love a lot of the ideas it contains.
They've now opened one of their Permit Room restaurants in Cambridge. It's not a full-blown Dishoom, rather a venue offering snacks, sharing plates, and a few curries. This dish was one of the snacks we sampled when we visited.
