About

At Pearl, I usually serve a soup as an appetizer. But whatever soup it is, we always garnish it with something that enhances the flavour and presentation and adds contrast in taste and texture. In this instance I’ve added onion bhajis. The spices and crispy texture add an exciting contrast to the creamy onion soup.
