The Ambrette Named 'Best Indian In Britain'



The Ambrette Restaurant in, Margate has been awarded ‘Best Indian’ in a nationwide competition to find Britain’s best local eateries.

Nominated for the award by readers of Morrisons magazine, the restaurant was rated 10/10 for the flavour, freshness and quality of its food during secret taste tests. The menu’s seasonality and use of local ingredients also scored 10/10.

“The modern menu was packed full of exquisite flavours,” said one taste tester. “Service was swift and food presented with evident pride. The restaurant is a foodies’ paradise.”

Katy Griffiths, editor for Morrisons, said: “We're delighted to recognise The Ambrette for this award. We were impressed with the way Dev combines local ingredients with Indian spices, as well as his efforts to give back to the community.”

Lisa Herriott, deputy editor of Morrisons magazine, added: “Britain really is home to some fantastic dining experiences and it’s great to see so many people supporting their local businesses.”

Dev Biswal opened the restaurant six years ago. On his win, he said: “We’re delighted to have won. But it’s our customers who fuel our success. We’re the people’s restaurant. We hold cookery demos at schools and support our local catering college. It’s important to give something back.

There is no curry or Chicken Tikka Masala on the Michelin-listed Ambrette menu. Instead diners are treated to exquisite delicacies as Hand crafted sweet potato and tapioca cakes, tempura of purple sprouting broccoli; Local fish of the day, locally grown sea purslane salad; Breast of Partridge with marjoram; and South Indian-style beef stew with spiced Alexander stems.

Visitors at this year’s Hastings Seafood & Wine Festival on 14th and 15th September, will have a chance to sample Dev’s cooking, during his live cooking demos.

Those unable to get to the festival can see him in action of Channel 4 TV’s ‘Superscrimpers’ where he shows people how to cook gourmet meals on a budget.

The Morrisons award adds to a growing list of accolades, including “Best Restaurant in the South East” in this year’s Cobra Good Curry Guide and “Best Restaurant” at the Taste of Kent Awards 2013.

Dev Biswal also owns The Ambrette @ Rye in East Sussex

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
