We are very excited to announce our first Ruby's Kitchen brunch gathering this Fall: on Sunday, October 17, 12:30-2:30pm. The brunch will be held indoors at our Williamsburg, Brooklyn, location, and proof of vaccination will be required from all attendees.
In celebration of new beginnings and the beautiful Fall weather in New York City, we are revisiting the breakfast ("naashta") theme! The following dishes will be served together, along with fresh puff poori, hot chai and iced yogurt lassi.
october 17 menu
Suji ka Halwa
A simple semolina dessert that is beloved across the subcontinent, prepared for offerings at Hindu festivals as well as Muslim holidays such as Eid.
Poori
A thin, fluffy, fried bread made from unleavened whole-wheat flour.
Chicken Nihari
The word Nihari originates from the Arabic word for morning, Nahar. It is a stew historically eaten by Nawabs in the Mughal Empire—in Delhi, Bhopal, and Lucknow—for breakfast after dawn prayers. After independence and partition in 1947, large numbers of Urdu speaking Muslims from northern India migrated to Karachi and Dhaka, bringing with them this culinary treasure. Prepared with chicken.
Aloo ki Bhujia
A potato curry cooked with tomatoes, turmeric, chilies, spices, dill, and lemon juice.
Cholay
A chickpea curry made with green chilies, onion, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and a blend of spices.
Anda Bhurji
Scrambled eggs prepared with chopped sautéed onions, tomatoes, chilies and fragrant spices.
Mango Achaar
Pickle made from anaerobically fermented mangoes and a mixture of spices.
Chai
Pakistani black tea with milk, served hot.
Yogurt Lassi
A blend of yogurt, water, mild spices, and a touch of salt, served chilled.
