The Chilli Pickle

The Chilli Pickle's menu is a window onto the incredible diversity of Indian cuisine. The selection of nibbles and homemade chutneys awaken the palate and the starters span the highest Himalaya to the Konkan Coast. Religious and cultural observances have given India one of the world's most sophisticated vegetarian cuisines. Two distinct communities stand out: the traditional dishes of a Rajasthani merchant class (Marwari Platter), while ancient immigrants from Persia are the inspiration for dishes such as Parsi Squash Dansak. Out of the searing heat of the tandoor oven come Lamb Chops served in a Rogan Josh masala, or an unconventional spread of turkey boti kebab, guinea fowl malai breast and chicken seekh kebab. The Chilli Pickle celebrates our connection to the sea with great dishes such as a whole sea bream in a green peppercorn chutney, served steaming in a banana leaf. Meanwhile, the south coast's prized mackerel are served in a fiery Assamese sauce. To end on a sweet note, do try the ever-changing selection of homemade Indian sweets or the classic Gajar Ka Halwa or Gulab Jamun. Made with local cream from the Northiam Dairy, the homemade ice-cream comes in inventive and surprising flavours including Date, Cardamom, Honeydew melon and Betel Nut. The Chilli Pickle successfully manages to adapt time-honoured methods to new ingredients, and combine regional specialities with familiar favourites. The inspiration and the finest speciality ingredients come from afar, whilst working closely with local producers with a menu that evolves with the seasons.
