Nub News have teamed up with Fusion Clan restaurant, in Warwick to offer readers the chance to win a meal for two plus drinks.

Owners Aby Joseph, Thomas Mathew and Joshi Johny are keen to bring influences from their home state of Kerala in southern India, to add a twist to the traditional authentic Indian cuisine.

The restaurant, which replaces The Pickled Crab in Smith Street, promises a 'unique' menu of Indian ingredients fused with European recipes, with the emphasis on new and experimental flavours.

Aby, who has been passionate about food since teaching himself to cook at university, is looking forward to bringing local diners in on their culinary adventure into new flavours and fusions.

The Fusion Clan menu has been lovingly crafted by Executive Chef Joshi using local meats, fruits and vegetables alongside the specially sourced spices and rices from Kerala, including jeerakasala rice, more fragrant and flavoursome rice which is included in the Geographical Indication registry of India.

He brings his 20 years of experience in the kitchens at TATA Taj Residency (Cochin, India) Peacock Hotel, in Kenilworth, Ettington Chase and Crowne Plaza Hotels in Stratford and Walton Hall in Wellesbourne.

He said: "I wanted to create dishes influenced by our roots, using unique and authentic south Indian spices but fusing them with European dishes, so adding new flavours. There has been lots of experimenting until I perfected the menu and diners so far are complimenting us on how different the experience is.

"I'm striving to create a fine dining experience that people can afford. There's lots of different elements, each and every one freshly prepared on the plate, right down to the sauces. We are excited to share this food because we know people are going to love it."

Joshi is particularly proud of his signature recipe Kumarakom to Cornwall, Kumarakom style local preparation of Cassava and a Keralan spiced grilled seabass dish, served with tamarind-infused sauce.

Diners might be surprised to see popular British dishes such as steak, lamb shank, Cumberland sausage and roast potatoes also feature on the menu – but, of course, with Joshi's own Asian twist! Visit the website here.
