In a sea of Boomer Jack\u2019s and Outback, Hulen neighbors have a new family-owned small business to support.<\/p>\n

Turmeric<\/a> opened on Sunday south of I-20 off of Bryant Irvin Road, serving authentic Indian food. This is the first restaurant for owner Sesha Sakhamuri and her family. She decided to take a leap of faith to follow her passion of cooking after years as a principal engineer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started thinking about opening a restaurant, we were drawn to Fort Worth because of its strong sense of community and family-friendly atmosphere,\u201d Sakhamuri told the Star-Telegram.<\/p>\n

She hopes Turmeric can be a place for customers to try something new or find comfort from flavors they already grew up loving.<\/p>\n

\"Chicken Chicken tikka masala from Turmeric Indian Cuisine in Fort Worth. Ella Gonzales egonzales@star-telegram.com What to try at Turmeric Indian Cuisine<\/p>\n

For beginners<\/a>, the Sakhamuri family suggests starting with the butter chicken or tikka masala<\/a>, as these are the two most popular Indian dishes in the U.S.<\/p>\n

A must for anyone is the sweet and addictive garlic naan. And it never hurts to try a mango lassi, a yogurt smoothie with a pinch of cardamom.<\/p>\n

The restaurant has also put a twist on the traditional naan by offering naan pizza and naan tacos.<\/p>\n

The naan pizza has a naan crust with the creamy tomato gravy used in the restaurant\u2019s curry, melted cheese and choice of protein on top. The naan taco is similar with a spiced meat filling, onion cilantro and mint chutney.<\/p>\n

Note that dishes ask for a spice level. If you are not bold with spice, go with mild. Medium will make your nose run some. Spicy is for aficionados.<\/p>\n

Another good option is biryani rice. This slow-cooked dish has layers of rice, meat and aromatic spices. Protein options include paneer, chicken, and a pan-fried biryani with goat or lamb.<\/p>\n

The menu varies from $10 to $20 per dish. For two people, you could get away with splitting an appetizer, an entree and a side of naan, and you might still have leftovers.<\/p>\n
