Restaurant Review: Pure Indian Cooking | Blogs by FA

Recently, I dined at Pure Indian Cooking, a restaurant on the Fulham high street, known for it's authentic Indian cuisine.

After an delectable meaty session, the table soon filled up with the mains, which were Lamb Sukke (£12), Kalimirch ka Murgh (£11) and lamb biryani (£13).

Husband is really fond of lamb biryani so he went ahead to try it and I decided to enjoy my share later at home.

It looked homemade, just like we cook at home with lots of love and care, the spices were on point and the lamb had been cooked well so full points from my side!

It had been a while since I last enjoyed a proper Pista ice cream because the last time I had it at a restaurant, anyone could have easily said that justice hadn't been done to it.

But then it’s not every day that I am invited to review an Indian restaurant headed up by a female chef – and PURE Indian Cooking is one such restaurant.

Both Faheem and Shilpa honed their skills at high-end London Indian restaurants including the Bombay Brasserie and Quilon, while Shilpa was one of the opening team for the very first Brasserie Blanc and later its Head Chef under the guidance of Michelin-starred owner Raymond Blanc OBE.

After starting their business serving only Indian takeaways, at the end of 2015 they opened PURE, with Faheem managing front of house and Shilpa heading a team of chefs in the kitchen.

The other lamb dish was the lamb sukke Maharastrian style lamb cooked in dry spices (£12.00) – the dishes looked not dissimilar, but the flavouring and spices were strikingly distinctive and both were subtle and elegant dishes with incredibly tender meat,  As accompaniments we had fresh, hot Peshwari naan (£2.50) and a bowl of excellent dal makhani, traditionally prepared lentils that are cooked overnight with mild spices to a rich and creamy consistency.

So often our impression of cuisine from the Indian subcontinent in this country is shaped by late-night trips to Brick lane curry houses where I swear sometimes there is a central dispensing point for tikka masala/jalfrezi/vindaloo sauce that each restaurant simply pumps over a plate of cooked chicken via a complicated system of pipework directly into the kitchen, so generic is the food across some restaurants.

PURE Indian Cooking Restaurant Review: Refined Indian Cooking ...

An Indian restaurant with a visionary female head chef named Shilpa Dandekar, cooking dishes with passion which have been inspired by memories of India.

A must order when dining here at PURE Indian Cooking and what a way to start our meal!

A classic chaat dish with yogurt, tamarind chutney, onion, tomato and pomegranate – but those familiar shards of crispy bread were replaced by crispy kale.

Two dishes you look at and really can’t judge as a bowl filled with just one block colour, but take a bite and you’re transported to a place of pure refinement.

I loved how PURE Indian Cooking turned out to be such a pleasant surprise and completely surpassed all of my expectations.

And when it transpires that its chef is a Michelin-level trained Indian woman, who honed her skills at London’s high-end Indian restaurants, The Bombay Brasserie and its Michelin-starred sister restaurant Quilon, as well as having worked on the opening team of the very first Brasserie Blanc, (and promoted to Head Chef under the tutelage of its owner, the famed Michelin-starred Chef Raymond Blanc OBE), well then you know you’ve found the jewel in the neighbourhood crown.

Most British people under 65 have been brought up with easy access to Indian food, thanks to our local curry house or take-away.

Our Indian cousins have adapted their family favourites over the years to meet the (sometimes) bland British palate which has in turn developed an affection for blood red tandoori sauces and hotly spiced meats.

We started with Pounded Coriander and Goat’s Cheese Samosas (served with mint, tomato & beetroot mini chutneys); Seared Scallops (with pickled beetroot, mango & chilli) and Chilli Fried Squid (crispy squid with chilli & tangy spices).

So, for those of you who are not fortunate in having easy access to football in Fulham or the family friendly Fulham Palace Park, PURE is a stone’s throw from Putney Bridge tube station, across the bridge from the Thames Clipper’s Putney Pier and from outside the restaurant buses will take you wherever you need to go.
