Traditionally, meats and vegetables slowly cook in tomato, onion, and tree nut-based sauces, which are seasoned to each dish. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">South Indian cuisine brings together the cuisines of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Mangalore and Goa with a range of healthy dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Seafood is at the heart of Spice Malabar\u2019s menu, which also includes poultry, game and vegetarian selections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Visitors to Spice Malabar can experience a<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>lunch buffet that includes tandoor, vegan, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian specialties.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Convenient take-out lunch box specials and other \u00e0 la carte menu options are also offered mid-day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more-->The dinner menu consists of appetizers, tandoori specialties, vegetarian, chicken, game, and seafood preparations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A tasting menu, comprised of authentic Indian delicacies paired with vegetable biriyani, garlic naan and tandoori broccoli, is a recommended way to explore the special flavors of the kitchen. Classic signatures such as mango curry, chettinadu and pepper fry dishes are also available in addition to an authentic homemade dessert menu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">George began his career when he graduated in culinary management in Chennai, India, and started as a line cook in some of the most prestigious Indian kitchens.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>He then moved to New Jersey where he joined the Sankalp Group of Restaurants, a Gujarat-based company, before moving on to Karavalli of Latham, where he has been an executive chef for 10 years and a key player in the development of other projects affiliated with Karavalli of Latham.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe\u2019ve been overwhelmed by the positive response Karavalli has received over the years,\u201d said George. \u201cTo share our food with a new audience and bring the cuisine of northern and southern India to Clifton Park is very exciting for our team. As members of the community ourselves, we are looking forward to welcoming our neighbors to our new space.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Soon, Spice Malabar will feature a full bar offering hand-crafted cocktails, wine and beer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The custom d\u00e9cor and hand-crafted interior spaces are flooded with natural light by day, and \u201cby night the restaurant\u2019s profusion of ambient glow will provide much intimacy to the dining experience,\u201d the company said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Spice Malabar is open for lunch Tuesday through Friday noon to 2:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday noon to 3:00 p.m. Dinner hours will be Tuesday through Saturday 5-9:30<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>p.m.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>and Sunday 5-9 p.m. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For more information visit www.spicemalabar.com.
