And so, we left our comfort zone of #kotakemuning for a change and headed to -
de Leaf Restaurant
(No 36, 7, Jalan Kasuarina 11
#bandarbotanik #klang)

The idea to heading to this #indianrestaurant was by my hub.
Oh-well, he is a big fan of #indianfood.
Whereas myself, anything goes.

Ambiance -
Another #nofrill basic #indian style #diningarea.
Choices - nothing unusual
The standard Indian #menu.
Service - acceptable.

#food-verdict

Those expected #indianstyle #veggies.
Extra items -
#muttondalca
For me, it was so-so.
My hub on the other hand, enjoyed every bit of it.
#eggsaltedfishcurry
Was expecting kurau bones, but ended up, the flat usual #saltedfish
(Total bill - RM37.00)
Inclusive of the #crabsoup packed back home.
Crab soup?
Just average.
What about the complimentary #kesari.
- wish they added more #ghee.

Any chance of returning again to this #restaurant?
I don’t think so.

Crab ClawSoup -
for the claws we kept aside after making the Crab Curry. Come, let's make this soup.

Into a pot,
add 6 to 7 lightly smashed claws, 7 smashed shallots,
10 smashed garlic,
1/2 tbsp ginger paste or chopped ginger,
1 sliced tomato,
2 bay leaves,
1 tsp turmeric powder,
1 tbsp coriander powder,
1 tsp cumin powder
and 1 tsp fennel powder.

Place pot over heat/stove and pour 2 tbsp of oil inside the ingredients.
Simmer over low heat, stir and pour about 5 to 6 cups of water (more water if you like).
Season with salt.
Simmer soup to heat through or till a boiling point.

Off the heat.
Combine in a little lime juice, some pepper,
2 sprigs sliced spring onion and
2 sprigs coriander leaves.
Stir.
Voila! Soup is ready.
