I visited KERB does Alchemy street food fest yesterday at the Southbank Centre
in London. This particular food festival was especially dedicated to
Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and Afghan
street food. There were so many vibrant stands, I especially loved
this lassi and samosa truck, its look kind of summarises it all.
There were so many
tempting veggie options that it was hard to choose what to eat. First
of all we had Jackfruit Jalfrezi with brown basmati rice and mixed
green salad from the Spicebox. It was my first time trying
jackfruit ever and it was very nice, I will certainly be on a lookout
for it. The jalfrezi was nice and spicy and all in all the dish was a
very good combination. Regrettably I couldn't eat their Tandoori
Cauliflower Steak anymore later, as I was too full. I hope to meet
them somewhere else soon to be able to try the other dishes. They
also have a takeaway in London serving the healthiest curries in the
city.
Later my partner
had a dosa from Horn OK Please. I've had this several times
and I love the dish. I however needed something less spicy in the
end, so decided to have just a good old mac'n'cheese by Anna
Mae's.
What a great food
market visit this was again, and the weather stayed surprisingly
pleasant throughout.
Looks fab, I would have loved to have checked it out - its sounds very much like a Mela type foodfest exhibiting cuisine mostly from Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and Afghan vendors. I do love jackfruit and have some recipes coming on my blog soon, you may remember my BBQ pulled 'pork' blog post. http://allotment2kitchen.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/vegan-bbq-pulled-jackfruit.html

Yes, it was a very nice foodfest. I do remember your pulled jackfruit recipe and can't wait to see more! I'm having a nice and relaxing long weekend, soon heading out for dinner.
