A traditional South Indian Sunday dinner is on the menu at Dosa Kitchen in Jesmond.
The Sunday Sapaad Feast is a set menu available in a choice of vegetarian, non-vegetarian, or children’s servings.
Sapaad translates to meal in Tamil, and the concept features a selection of dishes which cover the six ayurvedic tastes – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent and astringent – accompanied with rice and dosa.
Diners ordering the vegetarian Sapaad can enjoy two starters and three main dishes – a choice of a Poriyal vegetable stew, or Pachadi fresh pickle, a Kozhambu curry and a Kootu curry – for £15.99.
The non-vegetarian option also includes two starters, one fish and one meat dish, while for the three main dishes, diners can enjoy a Muttai (egg) Masala curry, a meat Kozhambu curry and a fish side dish, for £16.99.
Both of the Sapaad dishes are served with dosa, sambhar, chutney, rice, rasam, pickles, yoghurt and paapad – a selection of sides and sauces which can be enjoyed in various combinations.
Children can enjoy a smaller offering of one starter and one main alongside Sambhar and yoghurt for £6.95.
To finish, there’s homemade Indian ice cream – Kulfi – available in mango or a malai (Indian clotted cream) flavour.
Sudharsan Murugavel, co-owner of Dosa Kitchen, said: “We have years of experience in bringing the very best Indian flavours to Newcastle, and we hope diners will choose us as an exciting alternative to their typical Sunday dinners. Our epic Sapaad feast has the potential for so many different combinations of flavours and tastes, especially as we change the dishes each Sunday. We can’t wait for diners to experiment and learn when they come to Dosa Kitchen, and we’re sure no one will leave feeling hungry.”
