Sanskruti originates from the word 'Sanskrit' which is believed to be the world's oldest language. Sanskruti is a pure vegetarian and vegan restaurant, with a diverse menu, with their original venture in Manchester. Our first choice was some street food of bhel, crispy bombay mix served with tender potatoes, onions, puffed rice, sev and an assortment of chutneys. The chutneys consisted of tomato, mango, green coconut and onion. Our first starter was patra, little cakes made of steamed colocasia leaf rolls, stuffed with masala mixture and sprinkled with sesame seeds, grated coconut and coriander leaves. Second starter was tandoori mushroom amritsari, the mushrooms being marinated in gram flour, with herbs spices and carom seeds. Main courses of channa palak, made of chickpeas and spinach cooked in aubergine gravy and spices and lasaniya bateta, a garlic flavoured baby potato dish, sauteed in spices, with boiled rice. The two dishes were fantastic, it is not your usual Indian restaurant fare, this is traditional, authentic cooking, from various regions of Indian, it is light but packed with flavour, not heavy with oil and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. If you like Indian food, with a huge choice for vegans, you really need to head off to Sanskruti in Liverpool or Manchester.
