Urban Rajah. Born in Britain, Spiced by India.

My wife and I were recently privileged to dine on Burotis from The Urban Rajah.

There were two flavours we tried. Smashed Onion Bhaji and Chickpea. And the Hari Hari Chicken Boroti. 

The first combines a Sabzi salad with a smashed onion bahji and a chickpea chaat, mango chutney and baby spinach within a beetroot tortilla.

The mix of flavours were a true delight with the onion bahji and the sabzi salad working together really well with the chickpeas, the mango chutney and the baby spinach. 

The beetroot tortilla is a delicate shade of beetroot and is also very tasty.

The other Buroti we tried was their Hari Hari Chicken.

Sabzi salad, with a green herb masala chicken and yoghurt mix. Plus a different chutney, a date and tamarind chutney, with baby spinach and fresh coriander. All served within a very tasty corn tortilla.

Wow. Just wow. I liked the Smashed Onion Bhaji and Chickpea Buroti very much. But the Hari Hari Chicken Buroti was really amongst the best chicken masalas that I have ever tried.

After her first bite into her Hari Hari Buroti my wife said: "This is what real Indian food is all about. A fantastic mixture of spices, herbs and ingredients but without having everything overpowered by too many chillies! This has a nice chilli bite to it, but it's more in line with my family's own recipes."

My wife, like Ivor Peters, who is the founder of Urban Rajah, is of Indian extraction, too, so does know her stuff when it comes to Indian cooking.

And how much do these really filling Indian Street Kitchen delights cost? A very healthy £3.50! 

What are burotis? Burotis are Indian roti style wraps packed with the flavours of India.

They are produced with the Samworth Brothers Group.
