Latasha's Kitchen Leederville
After 18 years of family training, Latasha had mastered the art of traditional, home-style, southern Indian curries. Resisting any temptation to tailor her original recipes to suit the Western palate, her creations are just as spicy and deliciously light in texture as the dishes her mother used to make. She's also successfully converted her customers to appreciate the flavour of meat cooked on the bone - her recipe for red pork fry (mild vindaloo) and sambhar. There are 12 freshly prepared dishes to choose from each day - sometimes as many as 20 on Saturdays - alongside savoury nibbles, Indian sweets and Latasha's own-made pickles, chutneys and relishes. Making her own yogurt with whole milk, she creates a deliciously refreshing mango lassi. Should you require a tonic to soothe your tongue after the meal, a glass of teh tarik (pulled tea) should do the trick.
