October:- Amardeep Singh–an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) in New Zealand ,
who owns a popular food chain in New Zealand– Ethnic Coriander's Mint(ECM), which has 3 restaurants,
has decided to come back to his roots – his parent state of Punjab, at a
time when PM Modi gave a call to NRI’s to invest in India.
Amardeep Singh
owns the ECM chain of restaurants in New Zaland’s South Island in Rolleston,
Bushinn and St Asaph. It is noteworthy that Amardeep Singh apart from being the
Founder of Ethnic Coriander Mint is also its Head Chef. His enterprise became
immensely popular in New Zealand and he cherishes the day Prince Charles along
with the Duchess of Cornwall visited his stall at the A&P show in New
Zealand and showered praise on his cooking. Amardeep Singh modestly said that it
was the aromas of the Indian spices that attracted the Prince and Duchess to
his stall.
Apart from
Modi’s call to NRI’s, Amardeep was also egged on by his father Late Hardarshan
Singh who was in the Air Force, to open his chain in Mohali. So Amardeep has
brought the flavoursome food of Ethnic Coriander's Mint at his first restaurant
outside of New Zeland, which was unveiled at Bestech Square Mall, Mohali.
Amardeep Singh said that our USP is that we procure ingredients from the best
sources. Jeera comes from Rajasthan and spices from Goa. All the chicken and
mutton is cooked with the process of marination & fermentation. We select
the finest cuts and seasonal veggies that go into our dishes.
The menu is
mouth watering. The signature dishes in the main
course include Murg Kadhai, Chicken Posht, Fish Malabari, Chicken Madras &
of course the quintessential Butter Chicken, the restaurant has brought
its in house recipe from New Zealand for
this all time favourite. Mutton Madras, Chicken Vindaloo which is a spicy and
tangy chicken dish are also must tries. Murgh Dum Biryani and
Vegetable Jalfrezi are inviting. In small bites Lal Mirch Ka Paneer, Tikka
Bharwan Golgappe, Palak Patta Chaat are delectable. The clay oven recipes
in veg boast of Ajwaini Soya Chaap & in Non
veg this section offers delights like Coriander's Special Tikka and Gosht
Roonaki Seekh among others. In breads, unique Chocolate Naans and
sumptuous Malabar Paranthas and a host of other options are available.
The other genres of cuisines available include oriental and sea food apart from
others. In desert Kulfi Faluda is a must
have.
There is a very unique aspect about the
menu. Health benefits of traditional Indian spices & herbs are given at
different places. There is a mention how Turmeric known as golden spice of
India, purifies blood and prevents coughs & colds. A line about Basil talks
about how it helps fight infections and how Nutmeg is a highly effective stress
reliever and more.
The ambiance of the fine dining multi
cuisine place gives one a feel of a 5 Star Hotel, with the warm rich colour of
interiors and décor. Eco friendly colours have been used and these have been
hand painted. The furniture is the same as in the NZ outlets and is
luxurious with marble table tops and cushy chairs for that very classy dining
experience.
