Plate - Toni Lydecker     (January / February, 2006)

"Indian restaurateurs tend to think of Northern foods as more refined and more suitable for a Western restaurant than the homey cooking of the South.  Simson Kalathara, owner of Bengal Tiger's.... served an entirely Northern Indian menu for the first 25 years in business.  Five years ago, (Simson Kalathara) was finally able to get a South Indian chef who knows the food and techniques.  Since then, he's introduced a South Indian brunch buffet and gotten good feedback"

Food Product Design     (December 2002)

Simpson Kalathara, who runs the Bengal Tiger restaurant, is an expert on regional Indian cuisine.  Bengal Tiger's original menu was north Indian, but through the years... introduced dishes from all parts of India and balti dishes from London.  "Some Americans who don't know the difference between north and south Indian dishes think that south Indian dishes are hot and spicy, but this is not necessarily so.  Bengal Tiger has introduced mild south Indian dishes.  Likewise, not all north Indian dishes are mild.  While ... attempt to accommodate customers' heat preferences, some curries cannot be made hot and be authentic, because this will change their flavor profile.  Similarly ... cannot make vindaloo mild since it is a hot curry."
