I am from Bolton, Lancs. I was visiting Bradford after an absence of six years. My friends in Shipley with whom I was staying brought me to Prashad for dinner. Well, it was more a banquet as there were so many different dishes! It was a banquet designed for the Gods! I had of coursed followed Prashad’s progress in Gordon Ramsay’s TV programme, so I was very pleased to be here. My friends described the different dishes to me. I had a Faluda, a drink which I can only describe as pure ambrosia, a drink of the Gods. We had papadums with four different pickles. Then it was off to Mumbai, to the sea-side, to try Bhel supreme and Pani puri. Next was South India to try delicious Utthapam, an Indian pizza and Idlis, rice dumplings both served with sambar, a lentil creation and coconut chutney. In Gujarat region, we tried black-eyed beans with puris. For dessert, I had kulfi, an Indian ice-cream. Then, it was time for a spicy, masala tea. All in all, it was a grand feast that transported me all over India. Bradford must be proud to have this wonderful little restaurant. While we were dining, Kaushy, the inspirational chef came round to speak to the diners. Kaushy, you are a gem.
