Welcome to
The Brilliant

Healthy Options
Our customers can now enjoy our renowned signature
dishes such as Jeera Chicken or Masala Lamb, as well
as new healthy specialities cooked with sunflower
oil, olive oil and low fat yoghurt. Existing dishes have
also been refined to suit a health-conscious palate.
Long a pioneer in offering Vegetable Keema (soya
mince with fresh peas), our range of mouth-watering
healthy options include, Tandoori Salmon (mildly
spiced chunks of salmon with dill), Papri Chaat (a
delicious crispy snack of chickpeas, tamarind chutney
and low fat yoghurt) and mains such as Brilliants
much-loved Methi Chicken.
Our vegetarian main courses have also been given
a makeover. Dal Tarka (yellow lentils cooked with
garlic and red chillies), though still retaining its
flavour, eschews the traditional method of tempering
which would usually leave a layer of fat on top of the
dish. Bombay Alu, is also cooked to perfection in a
tasty masala, made with minimal fat.
Further healthy attributes come from our choice of
salads on the menu while ghee (clarified butter) is now
only utilised in moderation and even then merely to
add flavour. We have also made improvements on
presentation with a keen eye to ensure that dishes
focus on the main ingredients, rather than lashings
of fat and oil.
Our Tandoori specialities, cooked traditionally in the
clay oven are also light and healthy. The Tandoori
method of cooking is an effective one, as the fat
is allowed to drip into the base of the oven when
the food is being roasted on skewers. Some of our
tandoori specialities include, Tandoori Lamb Chops,
Tandoori Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Salmon, Tandoori
Quails and Paneer Tikka.
We would like customers to be aware that we have
not changed the spice content of the healthy option
dishes or re-developed the recipes, all we have done
is eliminated unhealthy ingredients such as butter
and ghee and substituted them with healthier fats.
In some dishes, we have only substituted a certain
ingredient with another and in this way have made
it healthier, a perfect example is papri chaat, where
the papri (crisp pastry) is still deep fried, although the
full fat yoghurt in the dish has been substituted with
low fat yoghurt, thus making it lighter.
