'Keerai Masala Vada' is a fritter made from baby chickpeas, green amaranth, coriander and spices which is a popular street-side snack across south India and comes in different avatars and paired with filter coffee or masala chai. We serve it with our house tamarind-date ketchup, the perfect sweet n tangy side to this delicious treat and comes alongside the Maddur Vada as part of our Vegetarian Set Menu.

The Maddur Vada, crafted accidentally like many great things in the culinary world with improv and a lack of said ingredients at that specific time. Made in 1917 along the Bangalore-Mysore highway by one little known street-side vendor named Ramachandra Budhya popular for his Idlis, pakoras and vadas who turned to this iconic staple when he ran out of certain ingredients and was late for work. The rest is history, and the Maddur Vada became the most popular 'tiffin' snack at railway stations in Karnataka and buses would stop at his joint in Maddur just so they could savour this specialty, taking its name after the place.
At this week's Podi, we bring you the Maddur vada, menasinakai bajji, raw plantain bajji/fritter and a whole lot more transporting you to magical Karnataka, the jewel of south Indian cuisine right here in north London. If you haven't already, book your 🎫 🛫 now!

Happy Holi to you 🪅🟣🟤🟦🟨❤️🌈
A celebration of love, colour and the onset of Spring.
Marking an end to winter and the start of the harvest season, the festival of Holi is traditionally celebrated with colours (in powder n water forms), sweets (Malpua, Rabri n Kheer) and... wait for it - 'BHANG LASSI' (edible cannabis mixed in a sweetened yogurt shake with dry fruits) bringing on a jamboree of song, dance, beats and fun, dating back to at least the 4th century.
Here's to hoping for peace and a triumph of good over evil around the 🌍 🕊️☮️
