Kaali Dal, Eight Hours
Black urad simmered overnight in a clay pot with tomato, ginger and a finish of white butter.
A small kitchen cooking regional Indian food the long way — stone-ground masalas, clay-pot dals, and produce from the Sunday market down the road.
TULSI began as a Sunday table for eight people. The recipes came from three grandmothers across Kerala, Lucknow and coastal Karnataka — written on the backs of envelopes, measured in handfuls.
We have kept the handfuls. Everything is ground fresh each morning, nothing sits under a lamp, and the menu changes when the market changes.
“We are not trying to reinvent anything. We are trying to remember it properly.”

We hold a few tables back each night for walk-ins. For parties of six or more, please call us directly.
