<br />
Here’s what awaits you:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
With rice and millets as a staple, the cuisine is famous for its various spices and the region has been a traditional exporter of spices from time immemorial, catching the fancy and interest of the Arabs, Dutch, French and English sailors who discovered the flavors of cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg used by the local people in their foods. Coconuts are an equally important element of most South Indian food, as coconut palms grow in abundance in the region, particularly along the long coastline of South India.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The region’s food includes lentils, spices, chilies, coconuts and other locally available fruits and vegetables such as tamarind, plantains, gourds, root tubers, garlic and ginger.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
While much of the food of South India is vegetarian owing to the dominant Hindu and Brahmanical norms, fish and seafood dishes are popular in the coastal areas and different meats and game are also relished by people across the region.</blockquote>

<br />
Sip fine wine and save a dime during our half-price wine sale. A special basket inside the restaurant holds limited quantities of premium wines, available on a first come, first served basis. When they’re gone, they’re gone. Fine wine for 50% fewer dimes ... what’s not to love?<br />
<br />
Here’s what the basket currently holds.<br />
<br />
<b>Cono Sur 2010 Riesling, Chile</b><br />
The winemaker describes this wine as “great, with a strong personality.” Its “clean cut, sharp and distinct notes of citrus – lemon, lime and grapefruit – mingle in with quince and white flower touches. In the mouth, it is fresh, balanced and full bodied.”<br />
<span style="color: red;">Sale price: $14.50 (Regularly $29)</span><br />
<br />
<b>La Châsse du Pape Côtes du Rhône Prestige 2009 White Blend, France</b><br />
“Fruity and well balanced, it develops delicate aromas of white flowers and citrus, combined with a harmonious structure,” notes the vintner.<br />

What’s this?<br />
<br />
Is it Heritage India?<br />
<br />
Those are the questions people frequently ask when they see our first-floor dining room.<br />
<br />
In fact, it’s <a href="http://heritageasiadc.com/" target="_blank">Heritage Asia Thai Bistro,</a> our two-year-old sister restaurant owned by Heritage India.<br />
<br />
We recently edited the menu, so now is a fine opportunity to sample the delicious Thai and Pan-Asian cuisine our Thai chef serves.<br />

Aromas of fresh pineapple and orange blossom are supported by French oak nuances. Flavors of nectarine and white peach fill the front palate as citrus tones and minerality linger on through the finish. This combination of aromas, flavors and textures create a charming Chardonnay experience. Enjoy this wine with a variety of seafood and chicken dishes.</blockquote>

It’s on special for $20 (regularly $36).<br />

Our red of the week is New Zealand’s 2009 Sherwood Pinot Noir. The winemaker <a href="http://southernstarz.com/Detail.CFM?sku=8906" target="_blank">notes,</a> “the 2009 Pinot Noir displays ripe, sweet plum notes with an edge of complexity on the nose. The palate is rich and round supported by fine grain tannins.” As for pairings, the wine is considered “an excellent match for most meat dishes.”<br />

It’s on special for $22.50 (regularly $42).

Gosht Avad Korma was a popular dish on our previous menu. It literally meant Lamb Korma from Avad. Gosht is the Indian word for lamb/mutton (goat) and Avad is a northwestern frontier province in India.<br />
<br />
We’ve replaced Korma with <b><span style="color: orange;">Pasanda</span></b> on our <a href="http://heritageindiadc.blogspot.com/2012/04/new-georgetown-menu.html">new menu.</a><br />
<br />
What is the difference, you may ask?<br />
<br />
Historically, Korma and Pasanda are two totally different dishes.<br />
<br />
Korma is a pale yellow mutton curry. It has yogurt, cardamom, black pepper, ginger and lots of saffron. Ground almonds are cooked in to give it a smooth, creamy texture. Sometimes dried fruits may be added. In essence, Korma is pale yellow creamy mild sauce made of yogurt and almonds.<br />
<br />
Meaning “like,” Pasanda refers to a dish that everyone will like, from children to beginners to old hands. It’s a creamy white curry with yogurt, ground cashews and cardamom. Cream may be added for light texture. In essence, Pasanda is a white creamy mild sauce made with yogurt, cream and cashews. Pasanda is milder than Korma.<br />
<br />
We at Heritage India have added saffron to give our Pasanda an orange color.<br />
<br />
In modern recipes, the difference between Korma and Pasanda gravy has all but disappeared. For cost, Korma does not use saffron. Pasanda may substitute cashews with almonds. Both curries remain mild and contain yogurt. Both sauces may include cream of coconut and dairy cream.<br />
<br />
For all you Korma lovers, Heritage India now gives you Pasanda with chicken, lamb or cottage cheese.Heritage India Restauranthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16715245548917115005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269381701107098583.post-21314449630699733762012-07-29T13:20:00.000-04:002012-07-29T13:20:34.087-04:00Weekly Wine and Beer Specials<span style="background-color: white;">Summer means a refreshing chilled wine to cool your palate.

Today is National French Fry Day and we’ve got an extraordinary way to celebrate. Our new menu includes Batata Chili Fry: potatoes fried with fresh green chilies, a dash of garlic and sour mix spices. You could call them Indian French fries. One bite of these tangy, spicy and hot potatoes and you’ll surely call them delicious.Heritage India Restauranthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16715245548917115005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269381701107098583.post-76826473935020939242012-07-03T11:02:00.000-04:002012-07-13T11:02:51.603-04:00Vegan, Vegetarian and Meaty Ways to Celebrate National Eat Beans Day<br />
Today is National Eat Beans Day. We suggest you celebrate with <b>Dal Makhani,</b> our house black lentils. One bite and you’ll be fully addicted. But don’t just take our word for it. In praising these glorious beans, the <i>Washington Post</i> theorized they “appear to be a union of silk, earth and midnight.”<br />
<br />
For a vegan bean dish, order our <b>Masala Dal,</b> yellow lentils with tantalizing herbs and spices.<br />
<br />
At the opposite end, meat eaters can try our two curries that incorporate lentils. We’ve got <b>Dhansak,</b> a popular Indian curry from the Parsi community that mixes elements of Persian and Gujarati cuisine into a rich curry of lentils, pumpkin, eggplant and spices. And we’ve got <b>Hyderabadi Murgh Haleem,</b> a popular Turkish dish that made its way into the Indian subcontinent via the Nizam of Hyderabad. Literally meaning “patient and merciful,” it is made of ground chicken, crushed wheat, barley, lentils and spices.<br />
<br />
Now, the only thing left to do is make your selections and eat your beans today.<br />Heritage India Restauranthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16715245548917115005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269381701107098583.post-83931387901459060252012-06-24T19:20:00.000-04:002012-06-24T19:20:07.583-04:00Breaking News: Reporters Take Over Heritage India Bar for Happy HourWe hosted the <a href="http://saja.org/" target="_blank">South Asian Journalists Association</a> for happy hour recently.
