Food - Gokul Vegetarian Restaurant

Hi Blog,

Let me share my favourite food - Indian cuisine.

Which was Gokul Vegetarian Restaurant (link)

I shall introduce Gokul to you, as it has some great food selections from North and South vegetarian Indian food, they also have an Asian food option with a fusion of Indian cooking styles.

They put up a Christmas theme in their store, what a Racial Harmony. :)

Old Gokul menu - simple and classic

Here are pictures of their new menus - Looking good with photos.

==============================================

Below were the dishes I had covered so far and I copied the write-up from the menu for easy reference.

Starter

Sardine Curry Puff - Rich in content, how I wish I can eat more of such curry puff.

Chicken 65 - Deep Fried Chicken Dish Flavoured with ginger, red chillies & vinegar

Carrot Cake - Stir fried cubes of radish cake in black sauce. Hmm... To be honest, I will rather eat carrot cake elsewhere because of the price... Plus no egg in carrot cake

Soup

Soup Kambing - Rich broth flavoured with 20 different spices and soya mutton chunks. This soup is no joke, it is very herbal-ish. Tastes Great.

Rasam - South Indian Soup prepared with tamarind juice, tomato, pepper and cumin. Soury taste and not bad at all.

Rice

Dum Briyani (Chef Samsuddin) - Dedicated in Memory of their Briyani Master Chef Samsuddin. Colourful Briyani rice and it is nice to see a dish dedicated to a person who they will remember.

Hyderabad Dum Briyani Claypot - Loong grain basmati rice cooked with masala soya chunks Hyderabadi style. I loved this dish, and highly recommended it!

Gokul Raas Dum Briyani - Singapore Style Briyani cooked with plant-based mutton.

Mutton Fried Rice - Steamed basmati rice stir-fried with vegetable sambal and minced soya mutton. The presentation style in a pyramid form is interesting and refreshing! They are also accompanied by tasty and hot chilli paste. Yummy!

Spicy Chicken Fried Rice - Wok fried fragrant basmati rice with special spicy sauce, chicken chunks & vegetables

Tom Yam Seafood Fried Rice - Stir fried rice flavoured with spicy and sour tom yam flavour & vegan seafood. The tom yam aroma was amazing.

Vegan Seafood Fried Rice - Chinese-style fried rice with plant based seafood. Personally, it is quite standard.

Noodles

Char Kway Teow - Popular dish of flat rice noodles stir-fired with a special soya sauce blend, vegetables and tofu. BEST Kway Teow ever.

Dosa

Ghee Dosa - Crispy South Indian crepe drizzled with the goodness of ghee

Paper Dosa - Golden brown, paper thin and crispy crepe. Simple and easy to pick if you are not sure which to start.

Masala Dosa - Plain dosa stuffed with lightly cooked potatoes and green peas. Love this one as there is stuff inside, order this one can fill up your stomach.

Paper Masala Dosa - Paper dosa filled with spiced potatoes

Rava Dosa - Crispy south indian crepe made with semolina and spiced batter

Kampong Thosai - Home-style soft Thosai served with signature vegan gravies and chutneys

Cheese Dosa - Cripsy dosa filled up with cheese, yummy!

Rava Masala Dosa - Crispy Rava Dosa filled with potato masala Filling. Looks like Thosai but the contents are different.

North Indian

Kadai Paneer - Mouth watering combination of vegan chicken/paneer, capsicum, tomatoes & traditional Indian spices Punjabi style. Got sourly type curry taste :D

Paneer Makhani - Cottage cheese cubes cooked in a buttery, creamy, tangy and mildly sweet sauce. One of my favourite Indian dishes! I will order this forever!

Shahi Paneer - Royal paneer dish in thick gravy of cream, tomatoes and spices. Slightly soury and creamy. Love its thick gravy.

Palak Paneer - Paneer cooked in a nutritious thick sauce of pureed spinach and garam masala. Love this.

Mushroom Masala - Healthy Dish of mushrooms cooked in masala

Pepper Aloo Hot Plate - Tasty side dish of potatoes cooked with pepper - excellent with rice or bread varieties. For Potato-lover is a YES!

(Discontinued) Shimla Mirch Aloo Jeera Hot Plate - Cumin spiced dish of stir-fried potatoes with capsicum

Bhindi Masala - Flavour packed Punjabi side dish of sauteed ladies finger cooked semi gravy style. A decent ladies finger and potato dish who is unfamiliar with Indian dish.

Chicken Kurma - Braised in a spice sauce made with yoghurt, cream and nut paste. It also comes with other options like vegetables or mushrooms or chicken. Personally, I will go for mushroom XD

Mushroom Kurma - Braised in a mildly spiced creamy sauce. Loving this!

Malai Kofta - Authentic Punjabi dish of mashed potato - Veggie dumpling balls (Kofta) dunked in creamy & mildly spiced gravy. Have you seen two twin towers in a small bowl? Hahaha.

Plant-Based Butter Chicken - Classic Punjabi Vegan Chicken cooked in creamy cashew tomato cravy. Nice!

Vegetable Jalfrezi - A healthy, chunky veggie curry. Inside this dish - you can expect chunky veggies like pieces of tomato, broccoli, green pepper and others which I forgot. Nice gravy though.

Daal Tadka - Unique, flavorful & tasty dish of yellow moong dhal boiled & cooked with tomatoes, spices & tempered with herbs. With other gravy dishes available, this one is forgettable.

Prawn Masala - Vegan prawn cooked in tangy tomato gravy. This one tastes great with any. :D

Gokul Special

Mysore Mutton Hot Plate - Tender soya chunks cooked dry in a compound of Indian spices Mysore style

Chettinad Mutton Hot Plate - Vegan mutton cooked in authentic ground Chettinad masala. This one is amazing. Yummy!

Sambal (Mock Prawn) - Mock prawn stir fried in delicious sambal chilli paste. The spiciness is impressive good :D My favourite level of expected spicy!

Vegan Mutton Rendang Hot Plate - Malay style plant based mutton cooked in an aromatic spiced gravy - I love that mutton plus rendang taste but it can get a bit too overwhelmed.

Assam Pedas - Vegan fish cooked in a sour & spicy stew with brinjal, ladies finger & tomato.

Bread

Murtabak - Stuffed pan-fried bread with vegan mutton chunks and vegetables served with salad and gravy.

Bhatura Set - Fluffy deep-fried leavened bread from North India served with Chickpea, gravy and salad. Check out the size of that bread! If you want to dish like Indian, you can start with this one.

Poori Set (2 pcs) - Unleavened deep fried whole - wheat Indian bread served with pabean masla

Kothu Prata Set - Minced parata mixed with soya chunks, vegetables and tofu served with gravy. This has become one of my favourite set :3 it tasted amazing.

Chapati - Unleavened flat bread made with wholemeal flour

Plain Naan - Leavened flat bread made from white floor cooked in a clay oven or tandoor. Plain and thick, best to eat with gravy.

Sesame Naan - Nutritious home style flat bread topped with roasted sesame seeds.

Butter Naan - Butter flavoured flat bread cooked in clay oven or tandoori. Smell nice but butter-oily.

Tandoori Roti - Whole wheat flour bread cooked in a clay tandoor oven. Just the same as the rest.

Drinks

Ice Mooru - Spiced butter milk blended with ice cubes and salt. Honestly, it requires acquired taste to like this.

Fresh Calamansi Juice - Cold pressed & refreshing vitamin C enriched drink with the goodness of fresh calamansi lime. So far, if I can't decide on any drink, I will pick this and will not go wrong.

Air Bandung - Rose Syrup flavoured milk drink

Mango Lassi - Creamy and refreshing drink. Made with fresh mango and yoghurt

Madras Coffee - Coffee made with Bru coffee powder

Teh Tarik - Hot milk tea beverage made from black tea, condensed milk & evaporated milk. I am not a tea person but this one... meh.

Others

Weird... I don't know this one. I can't find it on the menu.

===========================================

Overall: Gokul Vegetarian Restaurant is a great place to taste exotic Indian food, many of my friends can't figure out why the taste has no different from the real meaty dishes or even better. But take note, don't order their Indian dishes like how Chinese do; (e.g. Ordered a few dishes and share) because one dish from Gokul can fill one stomach to the fullest, so don't underestimate the dish from the picture.
