We kicked off the fall SLCmixers with beer and Indian food.  A pairing that many are fond of and now I must say that I am a believer of as well. This mixer was our first that felt more like an underground supper club, as we met in an old house in an unsuspecting neighborhood, and gathered around a family dinner table to taste and see the offerings of Tiffin Bus and Epic Beer.

As the aromas of Indian food filled the neighborhood, a lucky few got to partake in trying five courses of Indian food small plates paired with different Epic brews. As the night unfolded not only were our stomaches pleased but our ears too as we heard the story behind each of Molisa’s inspired Indian Dishes. Molisa Anthoney is creator of Tiffin Bus Indian food, a local Indian food provider that until now has just been a presence at local concerts and farmer’s markets. She first explained to us that Tiffin simply means a light meal in India. Each of her dishes have a story, whether it was influenced by her British grandmother or one she grew up eating, they were all even more enchanting with their tales.

After five plates we were all stuffed but everyone left with a Chocolate Cherry Scone for breakfast the nest day  (I just can’t let guests leave empty handed:)).  You can find the recipe for Chocolate Cherry Scones on my recipe blog, The Vintage Mixer.

Molisa hopes to open her own restaurant before the end of the year so stay tuned with Tiffin Bus on Facebook!  Also, you can stop by her tent every other week at the downtown Farmer’s Market. I know she would love to meet you! As for Epic Beer, you know the drill, pick some up at their store on State Street and while you’re they’re you might as well sit for a while and enjoy a sandwich or snack!

  1. This looks delicious! I would love this! I don’t know how to pick a favorite food pairing but I do love a baked brie with a nice smoky pinot noir – right now that would be my favorite although my husband’s is spicy wings with a hefeweizen.

  2. This food looks delicious, Indian is our favorite. If I had to pick a favorite pairing it would have to be a baked brie with a smoky pinot noir, although my husband’s is spicy wings and a light hefeweizen.

  3. I think the lamb meat potato cakes above would be awesome with Epic’s wheat beer! And at home, a light red with fish is always my go to – not sure if it’s technically “right” but I enjoy it.
