#FoodieAdventures Sattvam Restaurant @Sadashivnagar



When you know about an eatery serving tasty veggie lover suppers without the utilization of onion or garlic you are certain to be interested. When somebody lets you know that the eatery is situated in the upmarket Sadashivnagar territory and serves "fashioner" veggie lover charge – it arouses your advantage some more. Lastly when you read that the eatery serves veggie lover toll, as well as that every last bit of it is Sattvic too – the arrangement is fixed!



The idea of Sattvic nourishment is not different to me – all sanctuaries in India serve it as Prasad (sustenance favored by the Gods). The reason I used to visit the Hanuman sanctuary close to my home, as a child, was a result of the yummy Prasad. (Nourishment has dependably been my core interest!)

Sattvic nourishment is alluded to as a 'yoga diet' – something that prompts clarity and composure of psyche, while additionally being gainful to the body. So the eating regimen is rich in crisp and natural sustenance. These principles of Sattvic cooking are reflected in Sattvam, where they create sustenance crisp ordinary and utilization it up on a nonstop premise. This guarantees that "Ama" or poisons are kept under control. That is the reason remaining nourishment is never utilized, as it is viewed as Tamasic (unsafe to the body). Sattvic sustenance as an idea can be connected to any cuisne – so you can have Sattvic Italian nourishment, Sattvic Malaysian nourishment, the length of it's veggie lover and served new. So with the guarantee of wholesome, joy impelling nourishments – I set off to Sattvam on a soothing evening to achieve one stage closer to nirvana.



The eatery is situated on Sadashivnagar fundamental street, in the same building that houses Godrej Natures Basket. The stylistic layout is rich and crisp, keeping with their subject and their mascot – the Tulsi leaf. (The Tulsi plant should be of high repute to the Lord Krishna). The glass façade of the eatery lets in bounteous light (happiness to my camera) and neglects the exquisite old trees of the zone.

The eatery has an immense sattvic smorgasbord, including eggless pastries that they produce in house. The smorgasbord is accessible during the time for lunch. I saw very much a group that came there to test the products. (The catchment territory – Malleshwaram, has a high veggie lover/Brahmin populace). We however decided to move to the private eating region for an inspecting of their mark dishes. (Approach the servers or the proprietors for their individually menu).


We began with a truly interesting refreshment – a lemonade make with blessed basil (tulsi) and saffron. This one I adored so much that I requested an additional glass. It is just about the ideal response to a hot pleasant day in summer. (Brew would have been immaculate – yet they clearly don't serve liquor, keeping with the Sattvic subject). The squeezed orange with tamarind mash was a fascinating contort also, however on the verge of excessively tart for my loving.


The Broccoli shorba with apples was a much needed development from the consistent tomato shorba. This one was additionally peppered with saffron and I was informed that saffron and basil were verging on like Sattvam's mark – you will discover it in numerous dishes here.


The starters arrived and I was agreeably amazed to see the plating. Individual parts presented with two plunging sauce and a beautiful pouring container of green chutney. Presently I comprehended the contemporary veggie lover eating spiel. This would have been a normal paneer dish notwithstanding the pomegranate marinade that gave it the punch.


The following two starters conveyed the guarantee of innovative and exceptional sustenance. I adored the stuffed paneer roll. The green pea pound that they served was practically resembled an Indian wasabi. The Gilafi was a blend of chargrilled babycorn and neembu ke patte (lime clears out). This took some getting used to as the kind of lime leaf (tart intense) was something that my sense of taste had never tasted. Is it safe to say that it was great? Most likely.


We were offered an examining of the principle courses. All with a Sattvam turn. We chose to have a Cheese Jalapeno Naan and a Saufiyani Kulcha. The recent being a moment hit – I simply cherished the smash of the aniseed and the shading. The cheddar jalepeno naan was likewise yummy and could have been eaten all alone. I can envision children taking a moment getting a kick out of the chance to it.



We were introduced an aloo-gobi dish with an extravagant name – l'anglaise. The l'anglasie being the way that rather than our unassuming cauliflower they utilized a broccoli and rather than a tomato – a sun dried one took it's place. A tart blend that helped me to remember a veggie heat. Delve in!


The Dal Makhni was your standard passage – made smokier in light of the fact that it was wood let go. The Aloe Vera and greens curry was something that I most likely prescribe you attempt. The surface of the Aloe vera is near to a delicate cucumber and on account of the high water content in the plant it tastes exceptionally invigorating. The greens that joined it were something that I have never attempted – so again another experience on the sense of taste.


The Paneer Butter Masala was amped up with dill clears out. On the off chance that you cherish dill – this will be a much needed development to the normal PBM. They likewise served us their mark dish – the Amritas Ke Kofte. Curds balls loaded down with Green peas in a Guava (yes, you heard me right), Pomegranate and Corainder Gravy. The hit of guava fragrance when they get the dish to the table is unmistakable! I laud the multifaceted nature of flavors in this dish. Splendid!


I likewise attempted (only one spoon) of the Beetel Leaf Biryani. I needed to check whether it would be gross that they had paan leaves in a biryani. (Possibly unhealthy interest!) But it was an only an unpretentious kind of destroyed beetel leaves, in a somewhat plain vegetable biryani. Let it all out, on the off chance that you need to have a go at something new.

They had a variety of pastries yet what got our attention was the Malai Ghewars. Goodness… my… .God! When I about-face to Sattvam (and I've arranged two excursions with two distinct gatherings) – I will begin with the ghewars and eat it till my heart says stop (with the measure of ghee in it – it could be cardiovascular failure prompting :P). On the off chance that you take a stab at anything there, attempt this – it's one of the best ghewars I've had in quite a while. (What's more, I say this with certainty on the grounds that I have had numerous Marwari neighbors who gave me ghewars from Rajasthan during the time for fifteen odd years!)

So arrange an excursion to Sadashivnagar – it's not thaaat far! Furthermore, run with a receptive outlook and an unfilled stomach, in light of the fact that the nourishment and awesomeness.
