Liverpool’s acclaimed Middle East-meets-Paris restaurant Maray is all set to arrive in Manchester this summer. Currently under construction just off Albert Square, soon enough we’ll be able to experience its signature ‘disco cauliflower’ dish without having to hit the M62.
But for those keen to get an idea of what’s in store, Maray has got together with Indian street food heroes Bundobust for a special collaboration, mashing up some of the classics from each of their menus. And the Manchester Evening News got a sneak preview of the new dishes this week.
The aforementioned - and much talked about - ‘disco cauliflower’ at Maray is a whole head of cauliflower, roasted and then drenched with yoghurt, chermoula and pomegranate. For the Bundobust collab, it’s melded it with the iconic Mumbai snack Bhel Puri, hurling in the caramelised cauli with puffed rice, samosa pastry, and the Maray elements of harissa and zhug, a spicy sauce featuring chillies, parsley, coriander, garlic and cardamom.
