Malgudi is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday at 2400 Wisconsin Av NW.
Here’s what awaits you:
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.
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.
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.

Weekly Wine Specials
Our white wine of the week is Lockwood’s 2009 Chardonnay from California. The vintner’s tasting notes call the wine “pure and elegant.”
It’s on special for $20 (regularly $36).
Our red of the week is New Zealand’s 2009 Sherwood Pinot Noir. The winemaker notes, “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.”
It’s on special for $22.50 (regularly $42). Cheers!
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.

The difference between Korma and Pasanda
![]() |
| Pasanda! |
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.
We’ve replaced Korma with Pasanda on our new menu.
What is the difference, you may ask?
Historically, Korma and Pasanda are two totally different dishes.
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.
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.
We at Heritage India have added saffron to give our Pasanda an orange color.
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.
For all you Korma lovers, Heritage India now gives you Pasanda with chicken, lamb or cottage cheese.
