House of Mistry

As the chilly air nips at our skin, we find ourselves turning inward, seeking comfort in the warming memories of our recent collaboration with the incredible local talent at the Tiny Farm, Big Table fundraiser.
✨
We brought the streets of Mumbai to Roberts Creek with our vegetarian samosas, infused with aromatic spices and flaky pastry.
✨
The selection of dipping sauces accompanying the savoury samosas was a true delight for the senses. First there was the sweet and tangy imli, or tamarind chutney. Then the sweet mango chutney, which offered a burst of fresh, fruity flavour with shredded mango; but perhaps the most captivating of the trio was the vibrant green chutney, a spicy concoction made from an array of fresh herbs, chillies and coconut.

This breathtaking seaside venue provided the perfect backdrop for showcasing House of Mistry’s culinary talents, as we crafted our signature triangular delicacies-Samosas.

The culinary team did not stop there - we also proudly catered an authentic Indian street food, Pani Puri.

These delicate, fried puri shells are filled with a mixture of lentils, herbs, and spices, and then drenched in a flavourful spiced water that adds a spicy pop to each bite. The combination of crisp puri, the savoury filling and aromatic pani created a sensational flavour!

Her accomplishments, wisdom, and character have made her a role model for many. She is deeply respected for her tireless service, compassionate spirit, and dedication to uplifting others. Though her humility would never allow her to admit it, Shushma is considered an inspiration and guiding light by all who know her. The community is truly blessed to have such an honorable woman in its midst.

Indian food uses a variety of spices to elevate flavours of dishes, however, there is one spice I find myself reaching for time and time again - cumin (the spice in the middle).

✨

The earthy, warm and slightly nutty taste of cumin adds depth and complexity to a wide range of dishes.

✨

What spice do you constantly have to refill in your masala dhaba (spice box)?

Samosa chips are a fusion of the beloved Indian snack, samosas, and the universally loved potato chip. These chips are made by thinly slicing samosa pastry and then deep-frying them until they are crispy and golden brown.
💖
One of the reasons why samosa chips are so delicious is because they combine the unique flavors of the traditional samosas with the crunch and texture of potato chips.
💖
Another reason why samosa chips are so popular is because they are a convenient snack that can be enjoyed on-the-go. They are perfect for packing in a lunchbox, taking on a road trip, or simply munching on while watching TV.
If you have not tried them yet, I highly recommend giving them a try!

Special Order! Badam Pak & Monthal for a Mama-to-be! 🤰

It is believed that Badam pak is a nourishing Ayurvedic medicine that helps in keeping one's mind healthy and is a preventative remedy during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Badam Pak is also commonly given to individuals experiencing low energy or Vata imbalance.

Monthal is made out of chickpea flour (Besan). From an Ayurvedic Doshic perspective, besan flour is pacifying to Pitta and Kapha thanks to its astringent taste, but Vata types shouldn’t overdo it. However, Monthal is much more balancing as a food for Vata, compared to other Besan products, because of the added Vata-pacifying tastes such as sweet, sour and salty.
