Authentic Indian Wine Pairing - That Little Wine Bar, Penang

Here comes another monthly wine pairing from TLWBThe chef always likes to try out new recipe and good thing is they accept feedback & comment and willing to improve to suit the customer needs. I think this etiquette should have for every F&B owner.

The wine pairing 4 course meal cost RM138 which inclusive of 4 glasses of wine. It depend on the day theme and they chef will pair the best wine to go with the food. 

Had never heard of taking Indian food pairing with wine but I think the chef have did some research before putting it on. It's quite a brilliant idea for them to pair the champagne, white wine, rose wine & the dessert wine as none of these categories are full body wine. 

So, the Indian food recipe was inspired from a few state of India. Lucknow (North India), Kolkata (West India) & Hyderabad (South). I been to the Bangalore but yet to travel to try out the food from others state. So, it a bonus for me to try all in a day without taking the flight! Hahaha!  





Among the course, I will personally rate the food below with some comments,
Lukhimi - thick samosa flour skin, the filling is grind too fine and not much of taste of spices & lack of the aroma. 
Seekh Kebab - the mint chutney goes very well but I personally think there's still room for improvement in the dressing part. Perhaps instead making into 1 long sausage size, it could be divided into 2 - 3 mini sausage which I think is more presentable.    
Katchi Roll - This is beef with thin Roomali bread, the beef is cook in right timing, not too hard to chew and taste the juicy meat. Just the wrapper is a little bit loosened and once is cut the content (beef) scattered. This goes perfect with their home made mint sauce!    (I like this beef but maybe lamb could be better combination with the Indian theme?)
Subbu's Kofta Curry - Pork meat ball in green curry with the tumeric rice and shermal. The rice are well cook and the pork is perfectly soft! But the green curry gravy is not hot/ spicy..It could taste even better to have the "hot" sense 
Phirni - Indian rice pudding dessert. Strong cow milk but I personally don't like it as it taste sweet in milk.
Su the chef!
