Home / Delivery / RG21 Basingstoke
Basingstoke is big enough to have a dozen Indian takeaways and still only one kitchen cooking Chettinad properly. Ours works from the south — Tamil, Andhra and Kerala recipes, a tandoor running for grills and tikka, and a full South Indian tiffin list on the side. The house specials are split into proper vegetarian and non-vegetarian lists rather than one being an afterthought.

South Indian food is not one thing. Chettinad comes from Tamil Nadu and leans on black pepper. Andhra gongura mamsam gets its tang from sorrel leaf rather than tamarind. Pallipalayam is dry-fried with coconut and dried chilli. Nadan Kozhi is looser and coconut-led. Hyderabadi dalcha brings lentils into the meat.
All five are on our Basingstoke menu, as their own dishes. Alongside them: four dosas and an idli made to order, jumbo prawns kuzhambu and home-style fish curry, and a clay oven for tikka and tandoori.
Finish with gulab jamun.
Plain dosa is the rice-and-lentil crepe on its own, served with coconut chutney and sambar. Masala dosa fills it with spiced potato. Podi dosa is brushed with ghee and a homemade gunpowder spice mix before folding — nuttier and hotter than the plain version. Mysore masala dosa goes further, spread with a hot Mysore chutney underneath the potato filling. Basingstoke orders more podi dosa than any other kitchen we run.

A Tamil style built on black pepper, star anise and roasted spices rather than cream. Drier and hotter than a typical curry-house dish.
Sorrel leaf. Andhra cooking uses it to make curries sharp and slightly sour, which cuts richness in a way tamarind alone does not.
A dosa brushed inside with gunpowder podi — a dry blend of roasted lentils and chilli — before folding. Nuttier and hotter than a plain dosa.

Much of it is by default. Dosas, idli, sambar and most of our vegetable sides contain no meat, and the house specials have a full vegetarian list.
