Samosas from Woodlands

By Akua Oppong, VRG Intern

I just lately had the pleasure of visiting a Vegetarian Indian restaurant in Gaithersburg referred to as Woodlands. The environment of the restaurant was heat and calming, and the decor was elegant and colourful. Vegan choices are indicated on the menu, and there are a selection of them

I went with my household and all of us ordered samosas first, our go-to appetizer at Indian eating places. Samosas are a lightweight, triangle-shaped pastry full of potatoes and peas. It was very satisfying, with a heat, tender inside and a crispy exterior. Subsequent, I ordered Chana Masala with white basmati rice and Onion Dosai, and my household ordered Vegetable Biryani and Kadai Bhindi.

Chana Masala is one in every of my favourite Indian meals. It consists of chickpeas cooked in a flavorful curry. The Chana Masala at Woodlands was scrumptious to eat with the rice and samosas. Onion Dosai is a skinny, savory crepe that may be eaten with quite a few sauces. The Onion Dosai I ordered was very massive, which is ideal for sharing with others. It was additionally crispy and barely bitter, with each delicate and spicy sauces to eat it with.

Vegetable Biryani is a colourful, combined rice and vegetable dish, and Kadai Bhindi is an okra stew. The Vegetable Biryani was enjoyable to eat due to the quite a few colours in it, and my sister and I agreed that it was very gentle and fluffy. The Kadai Bhindi had a pleasant tomato style to it, together with a contact of spices and roasted okra. My household and I all thought that it tasted much like the Ghanaian okra stew that we eat at house. Total, all of us loved our expertise at Woodlands and would advocate it to vegans, vegetarians, or anybody in search of nice Indian meals.
