Legends of Punjab - By Pepperazi

Over 12 years of experience in the industry taught founder Anand Thakkar one thing: no Punjabi restaurant is worth its name until their paneer dishes are loved by one and all. And boy does Legends of Punjab knock it out of the park with paneer. But before we get to the paneer, it is worth mentioning the amazing soups they have from around the world. For example, the Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup that they serve in a bread bowl is a feast unto itself. The soup slowly seeps into the thick bread bowl as you sip and slurp the steaming creaminess, so that when you are done, you can bite into the scrumptiously soggy bread bowl.

Which is followed by the 3 Way Paneer. Each of the three cubes is seasoned with completely unique flavours. The red paneer is basted with a paste made from Reshampatta red chillies, ginger, and garlic which has been seasoned by classic Punjabi spices. The white paneer, dubbed as Mulayam Paneer Tikka, is prepared by stuffing fresh cheese into the paneer and basting with light spices and cream before being put on the grill. And lastly, we have the Multani Paneer Tikka which is prepared by stuffing the paneer with mustard seasoning and paneer kheema. Can 'Paneerception' be a word already?

You would be mistaken to think that we were done with paneer because it has only been a buildup to the main course. And what Legends of Punjab hangs it's proverbial hat on is the Paneer Tikka Methi Garlic Masala. In this founder's favourite, the gravy is seasoned to share heritage from both traditional Indian taste as well as Chinese spice. The brown gravy is mixed with a palak paste and fried methi leaves to create a truly unique mix which when seasoned with Chinese elements, just kicks the festival of flavour off. Served with a Hariyali Naan, this dish is a legend in the making. Just as the establishment is.
