Meet the Poda Family at The Cook’s Tale: Dinner for Two in Canterbury
Warm chakuli pitha arriving soft and ready to tear. House chutneys passed from hand to hand. Crispy sardines bringing that savoury seaside crunch. Then the deeper comfort of Chicken Poda, Duck Leg Poda and Vegetable Poda, each with its own character.
That’s the pleasure of the Odia Fire Grill Poda Platter for Two, now on the à la carte dinner menu at The Cook’s Tale.
At £56.95 total, it’s made for sharing, comparing bites and discovering Odia food together.
What is on the Poda Platter for Two
This is a generous introduction to the poda family, rooted in the flavours of Odisha cuisine.
The platter includes:
Chicken Poda
Duck Leg Poda
Crispy sardines with sukhua poda
Vegetable Poda
House chutneys
Warm chakuli pitha
“Poda” is closely associated with fire, smoke and deep, earthy flavour in Odia cooking. On this platter, it becomes a way to explore texture as much as taste.
There’s crispness, softness, warmth, richness and sharp little lifts from the chutneys. The chakuli pitha brings everything together, ready for scooping, folding and sharing.
A dinner for two with a sense of discovery
The best sharing dishes give you something to talk about.
This one does that naturally. One bite might be the duck leg, another the savoury hit of sardines with sukhua poda. Then comes the vegetable poda, full of its own quiet depth.
It’s a Poda platter for two in Canterbury that feels both comforting and new, especially if Odia food in Canterbury is something you’re only just beginning to explore.
Bring someone who likes to try a bit of everything. This is dinner at a relaxed pace, with plenty to pass across the table.
