Step into the culinary world of Chef Ankur Sharma, Executive Chef at The LaLiT Chandigarh, as he brings the vibrant flavours of Southeast Asia to your plate with Bambu Bali Chicken—a Balinese classic celebrated for its rich, spicy complexity and deep cultural roots.

This dish begins with a signature Base Bumbu—a potent mix of shallots, garlic, red chillies, shrimp paste, candlenuts, and tomatoes. The ingredients are lightly roasted to intensify the aroma before being ground into a thick paste. This forms the foundation of the dish, where the chicken is seared and simmered to perfection.

Infused with Bambu Bali paste, oyster sauce, sweet soy, palm sugar, chicken stock, and coconut milk, the chicken slowly absorbs a symphony of flavours—sweet, spicy, salty, and deeply savoury. A final touch of Nam Prik Pao, a Thai chilli jam, adds a hint of smokiness and warmth that lingers on the palate.

Chef Sharma garnishes the dish with crispy fried shallots and fresh coriander, enhancing both texture and freshness. Best served with steamed jasmine or sticky rice, this preparation is perfect for a hearty meal that tells a story of tradition and passion.

“This dish captures the essence of Balinese cuisine—bold, aromatic, and soulful. At The LaLiT Chandigarh, we love introducing our guests to flavours that travel far but feel like home,” shares Chef Ankur Sharma.

With Bambu Bali Chicken, The LaLiT Chandigarh offers guests more than just food—it offers an experience steeped in authenticity and crafted with heart.

A spicier cousin of the Bloody Mary, this version swaps vodka for tequila and brings in Dunkel Lager6, creating a deep, smoky finish. Infused with tomato juice, lemon, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of Tabasco, Bloody Maria is the fiery yet balanced rebel that brunch never knew it needed.

3. Spiked Mangoes: A Tropical Tease
