Family meal is the one time of the night where the entire Adda team sits down and enjoys a meal together - in between conversations about the night prior, what to expect in the upcoming hours, and laughs with people that feel like family. 🫶

A little behind the scenes of Bhatti Da Murgh.
Marinated, spiced, roasted over high heat, then plated over mint and green chili yogurt. Every step builds on the last - until you get that crisp spice crust on the outside and juicy chicken underneath.
Finished with a squeeze of lime as soon as hits your table. 🍋🟩

Indian food is a term as vast as the country itself, with dishes and recipes changing every couple hundreds of miles. It’s roots are comprised of fragrant spices, ingredients, and flavors - but most importantly, a rich history. Some aspects of this dynamic cuisine are straight forward, some are misunderstood, and some are just overlooked. We want to shine a light on specific ingridients, spices, and dishes that may hold a deeper significance than apparent on surface level.
Today, we start with none other than a fruit (yes, a fruit) of the color most associated with Indian food: the tomato. 🍅

Mirchi Ka Maas on your table’s rotation. 🌶️
Niman Ranch short rib is braised until fork-tender, then surrounded by a creamy masala of green chiles and garam masala. Rich from the meat, bright with chile, and built with just enough heat to keep you coming back for another bite.

Kodhi Mappas is a dish all about balance.
This Kerala-style curry pairs a whole young poussin with a silky coconut milk gravy, sharpened by a splash of vinegar and layered with the subtle, anise-like warmth of fennel.
Curry leaf oil and fresh fennel fronds brighten everything up, while sticky coconut rice makes sure none of that sauce goes to waste.

Bhatti Da Murgh 🪻
“Bhatti” means furnace - which tells you everything you need to know about this chicken.
Bone-in thighs are marinated with ginger, garlic and red chili, coated in mix of cumin, coriander, fennel, black pepper and more chili, then roasted over intense heat until the outside gets smoky, crisp and deeply spiced.
It all sits over mint + green chili yogurt, delivering the perfect cooling contrast with every bite.
