Authentic Homestyle Indian Cuisine in Fremantle
At Mother India Fremantle, our culinary approach centres on homestyle North and South Indian cooking. Since 1989, we have prepared our dishes from traditional recipes with home-made spices to bring out authentic aromatics and natural depth of flavour.
Our curries are slow-simmered for up to eight hours to ensure tenderness and well-developed sauces. Our chicken is 100% Halal. We use locally sourced produce and fresh seafood. We do not use artificial additives.
How We Cook
Everything starts with the spices. We grind and blend them in-house rather than buying ready-made mixes, which is why the aroma of a Madras or a Rogan Josh here tastes the way it did in 1989. Curries are built slowly: onions, ginger and garlic cooked down patiently, whole spices tempered in oil, and meat left to simmer on the bone or in the gravy for hours until it is tender.
Tandoori dishes are marinated overnight before they reach the grill. Naan and roti are baked to order. Our dhal, mixed vegetables, aloo baingan and madras potato are vegan as served, and our paneer dishes are vegetarian. We do not use artificial additives, and our chicken is 100% Halal.
Choosing Your Heat
Dishes on our menu are marked mild, medium or hot. Butter Chicken and Korma sit at the gentle end. Madras carries a medium warmth. Vindaloo is our hottest. Tell us your preference when you order and we will adjust where we can.
