5 Must try Non-Vegetarian South Indian Dishes in Mumbai

Indulge in delicious non-vegetarian fare from across South India

Indulge in delicious non-vegetarian fare from across South India

Everyone relishes a plate of steaming Idlis with Sambhar and Chutney or a spicy Masala Dosa or even Curd Rice or an elaborate Vegetarian Thali in Mumbai. But, while vegetarian dishes are popular in South Indian cuisine, it is equally known for its robust and spicy non-vegetarian fare with mutton, seafood and chicken dishes, from different regions of Southern India. Each dish bears a distinct stamp of the spices of that region. From Mutton Ghee Roast to a Kerala Fish Stew and Andhra Fried Chicken to a spicy Prawns Biryani, one can savour them all in Mumbai. So, go carnivores and take your choice from the varied offerings in the city. Trust me, it is time to move away from Bisi Bele Bhaat, Avial and Utthapams. These are my 5 top picks.

Prawn Gassi at Mahesh Lunch Home, Fort

You cannot possibly go to Mahesh Lunch Home and not indulge in the spicy and flavourful Mangalorean delicacy - Prawns Gassi. Devour this tangy curry with Neer Dosa or even Rice and you will be satiated beyond words.

Fish Moilee at Thangabali, Andheri West

This Syrian Christian inspired popular dish – Fish Moilee, is a fragrant treat you cannot miss. Prepared using spices, coconut milk and fish, this light stew is a delight for the taste buds and pairs well with fluffy Appams or even Rice. Thangabali offers their version of the traditional one but leaves you craving for more.

Chicken Chettinad at 3 States Kitchen, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai

This spicy chicken preparation with yoghurt-marinated chicken, oodles of curry leaves, pepper, ginger-garlic and chillies, from the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu is exceedingly well-made here and a must-try.
