A fine balance is needed to create Anglo-Indian flavours. One café is doing just that.

The newly opened Anglow is not just about Anglo-Indian cuisine and a whiskey bar, but it reminisces the days when Indian and British cultures mingled. Awkwardly first, seamlessly later. T is quirky café, located in the heart of the national capital has vintage interiors that teleported us to the streets of London and at the same time kept us closer to the Indian subcontinent. A fusion of British and Indian flavours is the signature of all the dishes of this place.
The Recipe
Among all the entrées we tried, we particularly liked the Tipsy Pudding. Made with an age old recipe, chef Akshay Nayyar told us how it comes with a twist, much like other dishes on the menu. T ere are three layers of sponge soaked lightly in orange liqueur, sandwiched with fresh whipped cream, strawberries, grapes, bananas and orange chunks.
The Flavour
Garnished with fresh summer fruits, the pudding had just the right hint of sugar. The chef uses a strainer to dust it with castor sugar. Sinful, yet responsible.
Anglow, 57, Khan Market, New Delhi.
