Mutton Brain Masala

📍 New York Indian $$

at Dhamaka

"Mutton brain masala is not for the tentative. The brain is cooked until it is just set, the masala applied at the last moment. The texture is delicate, almost creamy. The spice profile is Bihar-appropriate. This is the kind of dish that requires an invite."

"I ordered this without knowing what it was. I would order it again. The brain has a texture that cannot be replicated — it is part custard, part tofu, part something that has no equivalent. The masala is applied with restraint, not decoration."
