No celebration is complete without food and drink and the ‘Jolly Good Fellows’ menu offers an array of delicious small plates and drinks inspired by the soul-satisfying dishes from Anglo-Indian homes across the country; familiar yet new to discover flavors that bring with them the proverbial Monkey Bar twist! Begin with the very simple Maka Pao De, bread and butter with a Portuguese twist; staple Anglo-Indian ingredients on a delicious kulcha, with spicy and sour Goan ambot butter. If you are vegetarian – try the Vegetable Pot Pie a hearty comforting dish all rolled into one with curry flavored assorted vegetables encased in a flaky, golden pie. Or dig into the hearty Panthra’s & Mother-In-Law’s Chutney; a go-to dish for the robust Anglo-Indian community of Kolkata. This delicious composition of Panko Fried Crepes filled with chicken mince is paired with spicy devil’s chutney and has many interpretations across Kolkata homes. Or order Spicy Chicken Roast with pepper potatoes, green beans, and a mustard horseradish sauce. Go for the banging Ball Curry and Pao – this Sunday special is a slow-cooked Railway-style mutton meatball curry, served with buttered pao and prawn balchao butter. For a sumptuous feast, dig into the Mama’s Mad B**f Pepper Fry, with home-made garam masala, black pepper, and generous sprinkles of toasted coconut. This was conveyed to Prittle Prattle News via press release.
Worry not you boozards, there can’t be jolly good times, without some jolly good cheer, and keeping the gastropub and holiday spirit aloft are some amazingly, refreshing new festive cocktails too. Enjoy the Red Bourbon a festive concoction of red wine, Jim Beam whisky, strawberry and lime juice; and a cocktail straight out of the Goan beaches –Brandy Bugger– a heady mix of brandy, orange, lime and peach. Another one for that beachy tropical mood – Oh Schnapp with house made butterscotch schnapps, Baileys, whisky and banana coconut cream. But if you want a festive mood to take over – try the Christmassy Mulled Wine with spices and honey and brandy and red wine of course. It’s the run-up to Christmas and New Year so expect a whole lot of fun at Monkey Bar. Let the Bara Din festivities begin early this year!
