\u00a0This restaurant is serving up Kaala-themed dishes inspired by Rajinikanth’s new movie Kaalaa<\/h1>\n

There were guns, smoke and a whole lot of drama at this dinner table. Perhaps like a movie, Because where else but in Chennai will you find a restaurant celebrating Superstar Rajinikanth and dedicating an entire menu to him? Ahead of the release of his movie, Kaala, J Hind the desi diner (previously called Copper Point) at GRT Grand is\u00a0gearing up for a dramatic and action-packed weekend.<\/p>\n

The Semma Weightu Menu has dishes whose names are inspired by Rajini\u2019s most memorable movies, punchlines and songs. Staying true to the name of the movie, all dishes will have an element of the colour black as well.\u00a0Chef Shrinath RN, Executive Sous Chef, who is a die hard fan of Rajinikanth explains, \u201cEighty per cent of the food is black. A lot of ingredients have been tried and tested like black carrots from Maharashtra,black garlic, black bean and activated charcoal powder.\u201d After brainstorming overnight, J Hind\u2019s kitchens are ready with an eight-course blockbuster degustation feast\u00a0that promises to wow you.<\/p>\n

Paruppu \u00a0in momos<\/strong>
\nWhile molecular gastronomy is not entirely new in the city, as J Hind themselves are known for using several techniques like spherification, sous vide, blowtorch roasting, flamb\u00e9ing, nitrogen freezing and foaming. We start off with Vanthutenu Sollu Amuse Bouche,a Blackberry Sphere with Black Carrot Kalonji Shoots.The blackberry sphere is an explosion of black kalonji and black salt in your mouth, cleansing your palate for the long meal ahead.<\/p>\n

The soups come in almost immediately, named Who\u2019s the Black Sheep soup. A Bleeding Beetroot soup with truffle dust and dehydrated fennel makes its way on to our tables. For the non vegetarians, there\u2019s the Black Shitake Chicken soup, that is infused with a creamy black bean foam. \u00a0Both are equally flavourful and intense, and a visual delight.<\/p>\n

\nThe En Vazhi Thani Vazhi starters come next with a Nerrupu da Mutton Kala Olive Kebab, which is cotton soft and melts in your mouth. Along comes Black Bun Bunny Chow which is, thankfully, a
\ndownsized version of the otherwise huge original. Momos come in two interesting variants \u2014 the Karikalan Paruppu Puranam Momo and the Karikalan Kari Sukka Momo. While the former is filled with usli and lentils, the latter is filled with shredded mutton sukka. Both momos are black in colour made with black bean paste.\u00a0Their Blackened Spicy Mango Wrap, dusted off with red velvet powder is an oddball of a dish \u2014 taking your taste buds on a roller coaster ride, with the flavours alternating between sweet and tangy.<\/p>\n

Billa and biryani<\/strong>
\nWe take a short interval after that intense first half, \u00a0convinced that like Thalaivar\u2019s movies, even the second half was going to be equally explosive. We weren\u2019t too far off with that \u00a0assumption. Adhirudhulla Main Course is served with high drama, gravity defying action and \u00a0a veritable visual treat.Mundru Mugam Mundiri Kuska, is a three-tiered flavoured rice dish, served with a dal makhni that is smoked in front of us. As the smoke subsides, we also notice two more dishes at the table \u2014 Pokkiri Raja Nethili Meen Kuzhambu with Set Dosa and David Billa Biryani. The nethili was fried, and then lathered with the curry, which made for the perfect combination with the set dosa. The biryani was aromatic, with tender sliding-off-the-bone mutton and spices.<\/p>\n

Just when we thought it was all over, the climax of the meal Idhu Eppidi Irukku, rolled in. Chef Dhruv with his ice cream cart clearly is in the business of impressing. Using nitrogen freezing technique, he infuses Kahl\u00faa into a walnut brownie ice cream, flamb\u00e9s and serves it with crispy palm sugar jalebis and kaala prunes, along with black pancakes. It was the end of what we would call, a very entertaining meal. If you\u2019re the kind of fan that books FDFS for Thailavar\u2019s movie, here\u2019s another thing you probably should try out.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Starts on June 9.\u00a0 Meal for two \u00a0`3,000.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
