Important Note: Vik's!

[Guest guest]

Dear Bridge Biker & other friends ~

 

I've been overwhelmed with a million tasks and a mountain of emails to which I

must attend, but this note from Bridge Biker caught my eye, and I knew it

deserved top priority.

 

* Vik's Indian food in West Berkeley on Allston between 5th and 6th.

cheap, authentic and nearly all

vegetarian indian food at great prices (from $3.50-$4.95). I really

love #9, the Batura Cholle. not sure

if its truly vegan-- because they probably use ghee, but what's the

matter with a little ghee anyway?

pick 3 dishes to share between 2 people and us will be stuffed.

 

The bhatura cholle at Vik's (curried chickpeas with big puffy deep-fried

all-purpose flour bread) is absolutely fabulous and 100% vegan. They use

vegetable oil (by no means top quality, certainly not organic, probably used

over and over and over and over, heated to a temperature that induces the

production of free radicals - but certainly vegan!) and not ghee (bovine mammary

secretions churned into bovine butter and clarified). I dream about Vik's, but

only allow myself to go there once every two or three months (I do pretend to

care about my health - well my weight anyway!).
