See Why Vegan Food Doesn’t Have to be Bland

Posted on May 9, 2012 by kabobandcurry

Are you a vegan who is sick and tired of ordering salad after salad every time you go out to eat? If so, check out this informational video clip to see how you can change up your meal the next time you eat out.

You will learn that several restaurants actually have ingredients on hand that can be substituted for meat or dairy to make a non-vegan dish that is listed on the menu vegan. Fortunately for vegans, many Indian dishes are naturally vegan-friendly and do not have to be altered in any way, allowing for the intended fullness of flavor.

If you live in the Providence area and are looking for a place to dine that serves an abundance of flavorful vegan options, check out Kabob and Curry. One of the many regional cuisines we specialize in is the Indian state of Gujarat, where the majority of the population is vegetarian. Call (401) 273-8844 to hear about our tasty vegan options or make a reservation today!

Uniquely Delicious Cocktails to Complete Your Dining Experience

Posted on May 4, 2012 by kabobandcurry

Fine Indian cuisine is always a treat. But when you have the perfect cocktail to pair with your Lamb Saag or Shrimp and Fish Jugalbandi, your dining experience can truly feel unparalleled. If you want your next outing to the culinary paradise of Kabob and Curry to be nothing less than perfect, try pairing the dish you choose with one of these delectable specialty cocktails:

Bollywood
If you want to feel like you are dining on the set of a Bollywood film, this pomegranate- and strawberry-juice-infused gin beverage might be just the thing. This drink pairs especially well with spicy curry dishes.

Caipirinha
The Caipirinha may be Brazil’s national cocktail, but Kabob and Curry makes a Caipirinha that is distinctly Indian. The lime and ice that you would expect from any Caipirinha are still featured, but the addition of mango juice and cachaca (made from fermented sugarcane juice) make this cocktail a great complement to any Indian meal.

Lychee Martini
Strong but fruity, a lychee martini will appeal to any lover of exotic cocktails. Enjoy a mix of Soho’s specialty lychee liqueur, Grand Marnier, and the smooth taste of Kettle One Vodka. The touch of fresh-squeezed lime juice adds to the lychee martini experience.

Rasoitini
If you have a passion for passion fruit juice, ask your waiter to introduce you to this true delight. Mixed with Absolut vodka and lime juice, a sip of this cocktail is a great way to follow every bite of the dish you order.

Mango Peach Cosmopolitan
Made with Grey Goose vodka, Fruja mango liqueur, peach schnapps, and Cointreau, this Cosmo is the classiest cocktail you’ll find.

Beer or Wine Alternative
If you are not feeling like a cocktail the next time you dine at Kabob and Curry in Providence, try one of our Indian lagers, Kingfisher or Taj Mahal. Alternatively, you can opt for a wine flight: three 3-ounce tastes of wines from our extensive and quality selection of wines from around the world.

Whether you are celebrating with family or having drinks with your coworkers after work, Kabob and Curry cocktail for everyone. For more information about our mouthwatering dishes or hand-shaken cocktails, call (401) 273-8844!

Why Indian Cuisine is Perfect for All Types of Dieters

Posted on March 16, 2012 by kabobandcurry

Beef Samosa 387515 small Dining out when you have specific dietary restrictions can be a frustrating challenge; but when you indulge in Indian food, you will find that you can get a satisfying, flavorful meal that fits perfectly into your dietary needs. Because Indian food relies on aromatic spices and slow cooking methods to infuse flavor into the food, you can savor delicious flavors and feel healthy when you eat at Rasoi Restaurant, no matter your preferred diet. Here are some of the most common dietary restrictions that are no problem when you dine with us:

  • Gluten-free diets: With the exception of naan bread and a few select sauces, Indian food is highly compatible with a gluten-free diet. Vegetable and meat dishes alike can please your palate without aggravating gluten sensitivity. Most dishes are served over rice, so you won’t even have to skimp on the starch in your meal.
  • Vegan or vegetarian diets: Vegetable-based entrees are a cornerstone in Indian cuisine, so you have a variety of tasty dishes to choose from if you are not a meat eater. Vegan eaters can also find something to love, as our menu offers many vegan dishes that are conveniently noted with a green leaf.
  • Dairy-free diets: There are two items that you should look out for if you have a dairy restriction in your diet: ghee (clarified butter) and paneer (homemade cheese). Our Indian restaurant offers flavorful entrees containing meat, seafood, or vegetables that are free of dairy ingredients so you can enjoy freely.
  • Food allergies: If you have any food allergies aside from dairy and gluten, simply notify your server. Dishes can often be specially prepared to suit your specific needs.

Enjoy the freedom of dining out without worrying about your special diet by visiting Kabob and Curry for lunch, dinner, or takeout. Call us at (401) 273-8844 or visit our website for more information about our healthy menu selections.

Exploring the Many Uses of the Tandoor

Posted on March 9, 2012 by kabobandcurry

Have you ever wondered why it is difficult to replicate your favorite Indian recipes at home? You may be struggling to recreate the flavors you love because you have yet to unlock the mysteries of the tandoor. A tandoor is a special kind of oven that uses extremely high temperatures to sear in the aromas of traditional Indian spices for succulent meats, juicy vegetables, and crisp breads.

What is a tandoor?
The tandoor is constructed from clay that has been shaped into a cylinder through repeated firing, seasoning, and hardening. Once the structure is completely sturdy, it can withstand temperatures as high as 900 degrees Fahrenheit. The oven is then heated by burning wood on the bottom of the structure that heats the clay walls. Clay is able to retain and radiate heat inside the tandoor so that foods are simultaneously grilled and roasted.

What dishes are commonly cooked in the tandoor?
The most well-known dish from the tandoor is tandoori chicken, which has a crisp seasoned skin protecting the tender and savory meat on the bone. This and other meat dishes are prepared when the tandoor is between 550 and 600 degrees. As the oven cools, naan bread and other traditional pastries are baked inside. Vegetables are cooked in the tandoor as the embers at the bottom are dying. Sweet potatoes and eggplant are often roasted in the tandoor before they are served in delicious spice-filled sauces over rice.

If you would like to taste the delicious results of tandoor cooking, visit Kabob and Curry in Providence, Rhode Island. Our eclectic menu features adventurous entrees from all regions of India so there is something for everyone to enjoy. Call us at (401) 273-8844 or visit our website for more information about our menu.
