Planet India Menu & Prices — Brighton

Indian style, mildly spicy, or mild, not fried.... served without dippy things

A crunchy and raunchy pickle full of the weird and wonderful, maybe some lotus root, or maybe something that looks like a pea but isn't? (Ve)

Whole root of haldi, before its made into the yellow powder (ve)

Sweet and chunky, not made by patak's ... (ve)

Spicy peas & coconut in a ball of pastry like a samosa with a different filling & a different shape (can be vegan)

A ball of onion & indian raddish in a soft crispy batter.... (can be vegan, sesame, contains no gluten but fryed in samosa oil)

Proper samosa not ready made pastry here, punjabee style with a yogurt and tamarind sauce (can be vegan)

Indian street food at its best, chick peas covered by thin sev, puffed rice, yogurt, and our magic tamarind sauce. A taste sensation, sweet, sour, spicy, soft, crispy, fresh and zesty.... all in the same mouthful... (this is the one you should order, perfect to share) (if you have come to planet india by recommendation, your friends have talked about some amazing salad like dish, this is it!)

As above, just without the yogurt, (makes it a bit less gooey, and tastes cleaner and more vital... (ve)

Variation of the dhai bhel puri, with mashed up samosas instead of chick peas...

6 puffed puri, which you fill with a black chick pea and potato mash, sprinkle on our masala mix, then pour in a spicy tamarind, yogurt, minty, and black salt water and put the whole thing in your mouth and try not to spill it out!.....

A savoury sponge cake, surprisingly light and moist. Doesn't sound that great, just trust me please, the quintessentially gujarati dish. Served with a splash of yogurt and tamarind.... (can be vegan, contains a tiny bit of selmina flour)

Choose any three curries from the list below

(Not hovis)

(Ever changing)

With onion, tomato, coriander & lemon (my youngest daughter's favourite)

(No rules, made by my mum)

Chana lentils cooked with ginger & garlic, lentils rarely taste this good (we have swaped the spinach for kale).. ssh (ve, gluten free)

Red lentils with tomatoes, even better than tardka dall, still my current favourite ... honestly (ve, gluten free)

New potatoes in a rich tomato curry sauce, with a touch of coconut, which gives a creamy quality to this dish, without having any cream (ve, gluten free)

An all time classic (ve, gluten free)

Our mildest curry, with cream and coconut (gluten free, korma is sometimes vegan please ask)

Sweetcorn and chunks of vine leaved in a tangy tomato curry sauce, a bit hotter than our other curries but not as the black chick peas (ve, gluten free)

A dryish curry, very very spicy, just chilli and garlic, my wife's favourite (ve, gluten free)

The paneer (indian cheese) is fried that mixed with curried spinach and fenugreek leaves (gluten free)

Much much more than just cheesy petits pois, a splash of coconut, used to be my favourite (gluten free)

Super creamy, super smooth, truly unique, the traditional name for this is kadi, it's a blend of yogurt and chick pea flour, quickly racing up my favourites list, sweet, sour and saucy (gluten free)

(Ve, gluten free)

Traditional home style flat breads, dry fried (ve)

Much thicker than chappaties stuffed with indian radish, a bit like horseradish but not, a little spicy.... well hot enough to notice...

Might change to a triangle plain paratha (2) like a flavoured chappati, lots of fenugreek leaves and sesame seeds (can be vegan)
