Veggies with a kick

Having driven into Springfield from Vermont, my wife and I found Pintu’s for dinner at the end of a roundabout off an ornate bridge (to conceptualize how a circle could have an endpoint, you’ll need to visit Pintu’s). The bar section was pretty full for a Tuesday night; the dining section not so much. Once seated in our booth, we perused the eclectic menu. When I shared my Whole Food Plant Based proclivity with the waiter, he immediately beelined it to the kitchen to consult the Chef, who was nice enough to come out to our table and walk me through some viable menu options for me. I started with the mixed veggie platter—a copious assortment of onions, tomato, and cucumber in a generously dappled sprinkling of aromatic spices that made these veggies pop with flavor. Next, Dal soup, another generous portion whose spicy heat catalyzed an impassioned and persevering perspiration that would have me toweling my forehead and scalp with my unsuitable napkin for the rest of the meal (it was my own doing, having boldly ordered the ‘hot’ version of each dish). Finally, the Chana Masala, equally spicy yet, as with the soup, just enough so as to blast the volume of the delicious melange of chickpeas, tomato, and ginger rather than drown it out. Ultimately, this dinner was quite the culinary and sudoriferous adventure, one that, as with all well prepared meals comprised of well prepared, real food, left me feeling sated and content with no intestinal repercussions any time afterward. I definitely recommend Pintu’s; bring your appetite and a towel.

Pros: Flavorful food, Service , Ambiance
