Martin Sreshta of Martin’s Curry Rice is accustomed to
pleasing customers with unique yet customizable Indian-inspired food. At the Western Wake Farmer’s Market,
Sreshta offers a few of his most mobile plates for hungry shoppers or for those
looking to incorporate their bounty into fresh, healthy meals. Sreshta believes in the power of local
produce and incorporates it into many of his dishes both at the market and his
restaurant.
Sreshta’s newest WWFM offering includes a ‘Ready to Grill’
meal kit designed to combine a protein such as Tandoori chicken and an accompanying sauce, packaged and ready to
enjoy at home. Customers can then
combine the very produce they choose from the market for a true ‘home cooked’
experience.
Too hungry to wait until you get home to enjoy Martin’s
Curry Rice? Never fear, Sreshta’s got that covered too. Get started with ‘house
made’ (aka homemade) samosas, an
authentic Indian chick pea, beet and coconut salad, followed by a traditional
five-lentil curry all chased with a refreshing mango lassi.
Sreshta, a native of Mangalore, India, has been cooking up
culinary delights for two years at his brick and mortar Morrisville location at
the corner of Cary Parkway and Chapel Hill Road (between Amantes and The DollarTree).
Sreshta came to the United States 17 years ago and travelled throughout the
south before settling on the Triangle. “This is home for me,” said Sreshta.
“There are people from all over the world here, I love the diversity,” he said.
Apparently, the Triangle loves Sreshta too. As one of 45
vendors in Durham’s recent Food Truck Rodeo, he sold out just after an hour,
and experienced lines as far as the eye could see. Read more in the News
& Observer’s article.
