About a year ago, I read about a little bar not too far from
Leeds train station, called Bundobust, which served small Indian nibbly dishes.
As part of our ongoing, but interrupted, culinary-veggie tour of Yorkshire
eateries, I went to check out the place with my friend Caroline. Though we did
that awkward thing of one of us waiting inside the restaurant, the other one
waiting outside, when we finally found each other, we found that Bundobust served up some pretty good stuff, from pots
of creamy black lentil dhal and rice, to the more interesting bundo chaat, a
combination of samosa pastry, chickpeas, potato and relish. But the star was
their okra fries, thin and crispy, in a chickpea batter, dusted with salt and
mango powder.
