Every Tuesday and Saturday it's in our
Kiez: this funky looking food stall selling vegan ayurvedic Indian street food.
It comes with a chef that looks the part: turban on his head, white pointy Sikh
beard and a somewhat impatient demeanour. The banner on his trailer advertises
colourful pictures of dishes he doesn't actually sell and cute looking Indian
children. The whole thing is a blast of colour and garishness in the polished
world of the hipster street food market.
Our man sells only a few dishes (the secret
of a good street food stall if you ask me): vegetable curry (€4), vegetable
samosa's (€2,50), lentil soup (€2,50) and pappadums (€1). When he runs out, he
runs out. Since I decided to have lunch at 1.30pm, the curry was gone, but the
soup and the last few handmade samosa's were mine.
The flavours were fantastic: vibrant, fresh
and spicy without too much heat. If you like it hot hot hot, have a teaspoon of
the green chili relish at the till and you're sorted. Don't skip the samosa's,
if only for the sauce, which should come with it's own DOP (made in Berlin),
it's so good.
With summer coming, this is the place where
you'll find me for a healthy lunch: at the most cheerful stand on the market.
