Curry Cones
Dubai's luxury hotel, Jumeirah Mina A'Salam, has relaucnhed its Friday brunches. The brunches, which are set across two restaurants - Hanaaya and Tortuga - feature delicious cuisine from all over the globe, including their creative, Indian-inspired curry cones. The cones are made with the Indian flatbread Paratha, and are stuffed with fragrant rice, flavoured with coconut milk, pandan leaves and cardomom, as well as a Sri Lankan chicken curry. The curry itself is a fusion of Thai and Indian flavours, and the end result is full of mild coconut mixed with the warmth of curry leaves. The idea behind the curry cones is portability - it's a curry that can be easily eaten while on the move.
