Fed up with labour problems in his vegetarian eatery of 35 years, Krishnappa Gowda closed doors 10 years ago to open a shop selling fried chicken, cooked by him to a secret recipe influenced by his Mandya roots. Such is the tantalising taste of this chicken kebab, that its fans drive across the city to stand and eat at this eatery located in a nook of Mysore road! An astute entrepreneur, and mindful of the popularity of his spice mix, Gowda has also developed packaged versions of the masala for those who would like to satisfy their fried chicken cravings at home. I make the trek to GFC and return convinced that this is perhaps the best local fried chicken I have tasted to date. Hope you enjoy this episode, take care and stay safe.
Gowda’s Fried Chicken
Tender chicken, marinated for six hours in an aromatic, secret spice mix, Gowda’s Fried Chicken is the sort that is tantalisingly tasty. The masala serves to coat the kebab with a delicately spiced crust and seal its juicy bite; the chicken is cooked perfectly down to the bone. This is the sort of kebab that needs no accompaniment in the form of a chutney or onions.
Rs. 480 per kilo (usd 6.5)
10/10
Chicken 65
A tasty kebab in itself, slightly spicier when compared to the GFC. The masala has formed a bit of a thick crust in parts as the chicken is fried, which lends a spicy kick. And then there are those parts where it is the juiciness of the bird that gushes through the palate.
Rs. 480 per kilo (usd 6.5)
8.5/10
Mutton Biryani
The biryani here, made of basmati and kollam rice is served in a sumptuous portion, and is rich in the flavour of the masala when hot. Some pieces of the meat are soft and slide off the bone, and ribboned in rich fat, yet others with a bit of bite. As the biryani cools down, the savoury fat-laden flavour of the meat takes over.
Rs. 180 (usd 2.4)

GANGA’S MUDDE MANE | Homely Gowda Cuisine| This Brave Couple Makes A Fresh Start Despite Challenges!
#traditional #gowdafood #bangalore
new gowda cuisine eatery, vegetarian thali, non veg meal, nalli fry, ragi mudde, kheema unde curry, mutton peas pulav, kaal soup, boti gojju, chicken tava roast, small business
A sudden loss of occupation forced Hemanth Kumar to deploy his life savings and rustle up an eatery to support his family. Seeing her husband struggle, Nalini gave up her teaching job to support him in this enterprise that aspires to serve homestyle Gowda food. I visited Ganga’s Mudde Mane one afternoon to meet and motivate the brave couple, and along the way tasted an elaborate spread. Hope you enjoy this episode; take care, stay safe and happy eating!
Kaal Soup
An aromatic soup that serves well to whet your palate. The tomato conveys a pulpy texture laden with the meaty broth.
Rs. 40 (usd 0.6)
8/10
Brain Fry
Flavoured with the lightest touch of spice, pepper and curry leaves, the ‘bheja’ is cooked to perfection and melts in its rich buttery lushness when placed in the mouth. If you love the brain, a must-order here!
Rs. 150 (usd 2.1)
10/10
Chicken Tava Roast
Marinated in a green chilli, ginger garlic paste, it is the freshness of the mint that shines through the masala. I found the chicken a tad chewy.
Rs. 190 (usd 2.6)
7.5/10
Boti Kal Goju
A thick preparation enlivened with the starchiness of raw banana and nourishment of lentils, the boti is cooked through well.
Rs. 170 (usd 2.3)
8/10
Mutton Kheema Ball Curry
The kheema unde is rich in its meatiness and is complemented by the green chilli and coriander. Eat this hot to prevent the gram flour, used to bind the meat, from making its presence felt on the palate.
Rs. 180 (usd 2.5)
7.5/10
Chicken Kheema Goju
Tiny cubes of chicken tossed in a tasty masala. What makes this dish interesting are flecks of yam that bring its earthy flavours.
Rs. 150 (usd 2.1)
7/10
Nalli Fry
A weighty lamb shank, some of the meat has a bit of a bite, but as you work your way to the core of the nalli, the meat is tender. There is depth of flavour from the spices and the pepper.
Rs. 380 (usd 5.2) for two large pieces, the price for this varies by weight.
9/10
Veg Meals
A vegetarian will enjoy this simple but homely assemblage with as much gusto as a non vegetarian. From the scrumptious dill fritters to the comforting sprouts saaru and rasam, each dish bears the mark of a talented home cook, in this case, Nalini Hemant Kumar. I would happily order this with a non-vegetarian side.
Rs. 80 (usd 1.1)
8/10
Mutton Peas Pulav
Made three days a week, this is a pulao that is moist, gentle and aromatic. The aroma of the whole spices is what one tastes on the palate alongside the faint warmth of green chillies whose heat has been toned down by some coconut milk that goes into the pulao just before it is placed on dum. The meat in the pulao is soft and has a bit of fat ribboned through it, the peas are endearing in their soft bite.
Rs. 200 (usd 2.8)

Must-Try Unique Gowdagere Village SLR BIRYANI, Mutton Sambar Meal At Channarayapatna, Hassan Highway

A farmer by profession, Mr. Rangaswamy opened a small thatched eatery on his property abutting the highway in Gowdagere, near Channarayapatna, 15 years ago to serve tea and snacks to travellers on the Bengaluru Hassan route. As the eatery became popular, his family also introduced their unique village style biryani along with other meaty preparations like the mutton sambar, thale kaalu and chops. He has since passed on, but his family continues his culinary traditions at SLR Biryani. Notwithstanding the recent construction of a flyover that bypasses this humble home eatery and has impacted business here, it still manages to hold on to its loyal patrons. The popularity of their wood-fire-cooked biryani is such that it runs out in a few hours each morning, after which it is the mutton dishes served with ragi mudde, plain rice or khushka that occupy centrestage. I dropped in impromptu for lunch one afternoon and was elated to find, through a tremendous stroke of luck, the biryani that was prepared for a special order.
Hope you enjoy this rustic episode. Please do support deserving, small enterprises like this. Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

NOON’S BIRYANI | This Family Serves ‘Asli’ Home-Cooked HYDERABADI Biryani | Biryani Making At Home
#hyderabadibiryani #bangalore #authenticbiryanirecipe
noon’s biryani, hsr layout, bengaluru, hyderabadi biryani, dum biryani, hyderabadi mutton dum biryani, hyderabadi chicken dum biryani, mutton, chicken, hyderabadi biryani at home, eid special biryani, hyderabadi biryani recipe, cook hyderabadi biryani at home, hyderabadi biryani banane ka tarika, kebab, rasmalai, inspiring stories
When Mr Mohammed suffered business losses in Bengaluru 18 years ago, he was on the verge of retreating to his hometown, but his wife, Mrs Asiya Khan prevailed upon him to stay back and begin a home-cooked biryani enterprise, based on a recipe she had learnt from her mother-in-law in Hyderabad. She would cook the biryani at home and her husband was entrusted with the task of selling these in supermarkets. Little by little, they grew their biryani business, moving to a tiny shop with space only for a counter and three tables eight years ago. Over time, the reputation of Noon’s Biryani grew and built for itself a loyal clientele, many of whom would order takeaways. However, the current situation has seen their business dwindle down to less than half, and it was in this context that they reached out to us, seeking assistance to help spread the word. I paid a surprise visit and liked what I tasted, compelling us to return later to film this episode. We visit the elderly couple at their home, watch the making of a chicken and mutton biryani, before making a delicious meal of these at their shop. I hope you enjoy this one, do support enterprises like these. Stay safe and happy eating!
Chicken Kebab
Moist and juicy, homestyle chicken kebabs that make for a tasty side to the biryani. Seasoned well and encased in a batter with a savoury, light crunch.
Rs. 120/ 220 (usd 1.6/ 2.9) for half/ full portion
8/10
Chicken Biryani
Each grain of rice is separate and every piece of meat is cocooned in the biryani masala, much like how Hyderabadis like their biryanis. The heart of the masala is the brishta, fried onions, and the spices that make their presence felt in the aromatic warmth that wafts through the palate. The meat has a bit of richness thanks to the khoa that goes into the making of the chicken biryani here, and makes for a worthy partner to the rice.
Rs. 200 (usd 2.7) per portion; also available by the kilo
8.5/10
Mutton Biryani
Mrs. Mohammed’s mutton biryani benefits from a generous measure, as compared to the chicken biryani, of the fried onions and spices to complement the richness of the mutton on the bone, its meaty flavours fortified by some fat clinging on to the pieces. The rice glistens in its moistness and greets you with a gentle embrace, the edge of the spices tamed by the character of the meat, that also lends the rice depth of flavour. The meat is tender in parts and with a bit of a bite in others, its flavour delicate and warming, shining through the spices. If you are the sort who doesn’t like your biryani to assault your tastebuds with a spicy jhatka, this is certainly a biryani that will please your palate.
Rs. 290 (usd 3.9) per portion; also available by the kilo

Rasmalai
Rs. 30

Left WIth No Jobs This Couple Began An All-Women REDDY MANE BIRYANI To Serve Food At Honest Prices!

When Gautham Reddy, a DJ, and his wife, Christine, a pastry chef, suddenly found themselves out of work due to the pandemic, they put together their savings into a culinary enterprise, a café, that met with limited success. Lesson learnt, they turned next to a home delivery business focused on non vegetarian fare derived from family recipes. Orders followed, giving them the confidence to set up a tiny eatery in the suburb of Vidyaranyapura. Things have been slow though, and when they reached out to us to help spread the word, we stepped in for a surprise visit one Wednesday afternoon. Manned by an all-women team, the fare here is the sort that is homely, tasty and most importantly, honestly priced. We tasted around 10 dishes, the sort that would happily feed a hungry party of four, and worked up a bill of just over Rs. 1200. I hope you have the heart to support enterprises like these that are committed to honest work, and trying to do their best to stay afloat in these trying times.
Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

Bengaluru’s Best Wood Fire Andhra Biryani! APPU Sir’s Most Favourite HOTEL NAVAYUGA!

I was first introduced to Hotel Navayuga during the course of my most memorable meal, with Karnataka Ratna, Dr Puneeth Rajkumar, Appu Sir. We were relishing a traditional jolada rotti oota, but somewhere our conversation veered to tasting a biryani during our next meal. Alas, that wasn’t meant to be, but deep down I feel that if it would have been at Hotel Navayuga, a 40-year-old eatery that Appu Sir spoke about quite fondly. I did make a visit to the eatery later, to record a tribute episode to commemorate his last film over a meal with his nephew, Vinay Rajkumar and Anchor Anushree. It was also during the course of this meal that I decided I must return to film a full-fledged Gourmet On Episode.
I hope you enjoy part one of this episode, where I visit the kitchens of Navayuga to explore what makes their iconic biryani special, in addition to watching the making of their other favourites like the chicken kebab, fish fry and more.
Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

LAST LUNCH At EBONY, Bengaluru’s Most Popular Multi-Cuisine Restaurant | Arcot Chops, Butter Chicken
#ebony #bangalore #multicuisine
popular bangalore restaurant, bengaluru, ebony, 13th floor, asean on the edge, popular multicuisine restaurant, popular lunch, pan indian, asian, arcot lamb chop, kakori kebab, thai crisp vegetables, nonya prawns, dal makhni, butter chicken, diwani handi
My first meal in Bengaluru when I moved here 25 years ago was at Ebony, a restaurant perched on the 13th floor of one of the city’s earliest highrises. Dining under the stars, I distinctly remember the food, a smattering of Parsi, Pan Indian and Continental, dished up, simply minus any pretence yet solid in its flavours, much like the character of the city I now call home. I learnt later that the restaurant came into being quite by accident, born out of a crisis after its owner, Rajesh Rajaram, having bought the property as an investment was unable to flip it owing to the adverse fall out of the first Gulf war. Over the years, Ebony has successfully weathered many crises, evolving multiple avatars, the city’s most ‘democratic’ bar and more recently, an Asian restaurant. But sadly, the economic brunt of the current situation seems to have gotten the better of this Bengaluru bellwether. I visit Ebony for their last lunch service as they close shop to emerge stronger in a couple of months. Take care and stay safe. Happy eating!
Do catch our wine tasting table at Ebony here:
A Tasting Of Indian Wines From SULA & KRSMA|TASTING TABLE|Pairing Food & Wine|White Wines For Summer
Nonya Crunchy Butter Prawns
Despite being crumbed in a flavoursome buttery crunch that resonates the toasty herbaceousness of crispened curry leaves and the tingling heat of red chillies, the faint sweetness of the prawns shines through.
Rs. 495 (usd 6.6)
8.5/10
Thai Crispy Vegetables
Vegetables served up in a crispy batter with a honey-chilli combination, this was a vegetarian favourite at 13th Floor. The peppery notes of basil accents this appetiser.
Rs. 355 (usd 4.7)
8/10
Salonee Broccoli
Moistened in a saffron-mustard marinade, the grilled broccoli florets unburden the punchy mustard flavours on the palate. The processed cheese rounds off flavours of this tasty appetiser.
Rs. 320 (usd 4.3)
8/10
Arcot Mutton Chops
A ghee laden lamb chop that is slow-cooked to juicy doneness, and then charred on a grill to form a delicious masala crust. A traditional Mudaliar dish, the ghee in this heroes the juicy bite of the meat. A must-have when at Ebony.
Rs. 545 (usd 7.3)
10/10
Kakori Kebab
Tender, rich in fat, lamb mince that is massaged with gentle spices and grilled on a skewer, these fragile kebabs leave a warming smokey, decadent impression as they melt away when placed in the mouth.
Rs. 525 (usd 6.7)
9/10
Ebony’s Ultimate Butter Chicken
Rich in the tart sweetness of the tomatoes that cradles the tandoori spiced, grilled chicken, this is a dish that is supposedly a popular order here. I would have enjoyed a bit more kasoori methi punch in this makhan-laden dish. Having said that, it’s a dish that is comforting with a hot roti.
Rs. 495 (usd 6.7)
8/10
Hyderabadi Deewan E Handi
Vegetables cooked in a rich cashew and onion gravy, the softened shallots add a punch of demure sweetness.
Rs. 385 (usd 6.7)
8/10
Malaidar Dal Makhni
Loved the smokey, buttery flavours of the dal makhni that has been cooked slowly allowing for the flavours to develop. This is a dal that I would happily return for.
Rs. 325 (usd 6.7)

90-Year SHIVAJI MILITARY HOTEL, Bangalore’s Most Popular DONNE BIRYANI Opens Dine-In After 8 Months!
#donnebiryani #lunch #bengaluru
popular biryani restaurant, donne biryani, shivaji military hotel, popular biryani, mutton biryani, chicken biryani, mutton dry, chilli chicken, kaal soup, mutton liver, jayanagar, banashankari, bangalore, bengaluru
When Bengaluru emerged from lockdown months ago, Lokesh and Rajiv, the brothers behind Shivaji Military Hotel took a conscious decision to not reopen dine-in until the situation got better. This meant foregoing a substantial chunk of revenues and relying on takeaway business only, but this was something they were prepared to live with, for the safety of their customers and staff. So when they reopened the eatery to customers a couple of weeks ago, we lost no time in getting there to savour their hugely popular donne biryani and also report on the current experience at this 90-year old culinary institution that has a reputation for being jam packed with customers. We arrived to find certain measures in place, even though in precarious danger of being overrun by its patrons. Thankfully though, the taste of the donne biryani hasn't wavered a bit from the time we tasted it last nearly a year ago. Hope you enjoy this episode, stay safe and happy eating!
Kaal Soup
A warming, gently-spiced mutton bone broth, the trotters are cleaned well and cooked to melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Rs. 180 (usd 2.4)
8.5/10
Chicken Donne Biryani
The biryani is served steaming hot and is impressionable in its persistent aroma and spicy, flavourful fervour laced with green chilli heat. We tasted the donne biryani in takeaway mode where it is packed in foil, but it's not quite the same as when it is ladled onto a donne, a container fashioned of leaves.
Rs. 200 (usd 2.7)
9/10
Mutton Donne Biryani
The biryani has a slightly smokey tone, and the spices imbued with the weight of the fat and the character of the meat, is rounded in its flavour as opposed to the chicken biryani. The meat is juicy and has absorbed the flavour of the masala rather well. This is the textbook donne biryani, served by this revered culinary institution for the last nine decades.
Rs. 260 (usd 3.5)
10/10
Chilli Chicken
The chicken is moist, bathed in a green chilli gravy, this is certainly not a dish for the faint-hearted.
Rs. 180 (2.4)
8.5/10
Mutton Pepper Dry
Tender meat braised in a deep roasted masala with plenty of pepper.
Rs. 230 (usd 3.1)
9/10
Mutton Liver Fry
The liver has a bit of a bite, its deep flavours juxtapose delightfully against the contrasting freshness of coriander and mint in the green masala.
Rs. 160 (usd 2.2)
8.5/10

Lucknowi Biryani & Kebabs At Bengaluru’s Smallest Biryani Shop Run By A Brave Lady! BIRYANI DELICACY

The pandemic was a difficult time for Mahi and her husband Majeed. Their little son fell seriously ill and to nurse him back to health, this young couple had to borrow a fair bit of money. However soon thereafter Mahi lost her job. Left with no recourse, she turned to her love for cooking and opened a small shop near her home in Akshayanagar, a distant suburb in South Bengaluru, where she serves Lucknowi biryani and kebabs made to her grandmother’s recipe at home. There’s only a table to seat four and a few regulars in the area who order takeaways. But business has been tough, and the young couple have been having a tough time trying to make ends meet and repay their loans. I received an appeal from Mahi, and after making discreet enquiries, visited them for a meal. While the tiny size of the shop, it’s no more than a kiosk, with a table outside to seat four, did surprise me, what floored me completely was the taste of the fare that is served out of Biryani Delicacy. I will definitely return for the biryani and the kebabs. And needless to say, you should visit too. To savour a unique Lucknow style biryani that has been tweaked a bit to suit Bengaluru’s palate, and to also support a deserving small enterprise.
Hope you enjoy this episode. Tackle care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

ANAND Dum Biryani Vs. MANI Dum Biryani! Which Famous HOSKOTE Early Morning BIRYANI Should You Try?
#hoskote #biryani #bangalore
mani dum biryani, anand dum biryani, popular hoskote biryani shop, early morning biryani, popular biryani shop,, hosakote, hoskote, bangalore, bengaluru, mutton biryani, biryani trail, inspiring stories, karnataka
The Hoskote early morning biryani draws hundreds of faithful fans who wake up at an unearthly hour every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday to make the 40-km trek to queue up at biryani shops in this town just outside Bengaluru.
However, for those not completely in the know, some of the most commonly asked questions with respect to this long-standing biryani tradition are: What’s the fuss about the Hoskote biryani? Which biryani should one try, should one try the Mani Biryani or the Anand Biryani? How different are these biryanis? Or are they similar? Which one is spicy, which one is not? What goes into the making of these hugely popular biryanis? Which one came first? And more…
In this special Gourmet On The Road episode, we revisit these biryanis and compare side by side Hoskote’s most popular early morning biryanis, undoubtedly, in an attempt to answer many of the questions posed. Hope you enjoy this one; take care, stay safe and happy eating!
Anand Mutton Biryani
The dominant flavours in this biryani are that of the fresh ingredients, the naati ginger, garlic, coriander,mint etc., followed by a veil of the aromatic spices. Every grain of rice is imbued with its flavours, and the meat is a combination of some soft, juicy pieces and some on the bone, that calls for a bit of effort to get to every bit of it, some fat included. The spicing is gentle and warm.
Rs. 230 (usd 3.1)
9/10
Mutton Biryani
The only dish made at Mani Dum Biryani, is unique in its aroma that is redolent of an amalgam of spices combined with meat. Each grain of the rice has absorbed the procession of spices that go into the pot and the fat that is rendered from the meat, this is the sort of biryani that leaves behind a spicy impression on the palate. You can taste the heat of green chillies, and the flavour of the secret spice mix that’s made in Mani’s home. Some of the meat is laced with fat that melts in the warmth of one’s mouth, some pieces though can have a bit of a bite. This is a spicy biryani, and the mosaru bhajji, onion and cucumber raitha helps cool things down.
Rs. 230 (usd 3.1)

When Mr Chenna Reddy migrated from his village in Andhra Pradesh just past the Karnataka border town of Mulbagal in the eighties, he sought employment as a cook in an Andhra eatery in Bengaluru. Such was his impressive hand at cooking, that some of his customers and associates pooled together a restaurant for him, and thus was born Mayuri in 1986, just off Minerva circle on JC Road. 36 years on, the eatery still reigns supreme for its Andhra fare, notably the vegetarian bhojanam and toothsome biryanis, the latter made to a unique recipe that employs minimal spices yet makes a terrific impact on the palate! In this episode, I catch up with Mr. Reddy as he walks me through his kitchen and preparations, his unbridled passion quite inspiring, before sitting down for a big Andhra meal comprising Mayuri’s most popular hits. Hope you find this slightly lengthy episode enjoyable, well, I certainly did ????????. Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

Popular Biryani Takeaway | MEGHANA FOODS | Vegetable, Aloo, Chicken, Mutton | Rerun Episode
#lockdown #biryani #supportlocaleateries
support local eateries, takeaway meal, meghana foods, biryani, vegetable biryani, hyderabadi chicken biryani, boneless chicken biryani, aloo biryani, mutton biryani, koramangala, bangalore, bengaluru
Hi folks, hope you are doing well. In this throwback takeaway biryani review, we visited Meghana Foods, a establishment that seems to have a formidable following for its biryanis that are mostly made in the Hyderabadi style with loads of masala. Purists may balk at the eatery’s top seller, a boneless chicken biryani that to me seemed like a culinary intersection of Sino-Indian and Hyderabadi fare! Love it or hate it, you certainly can’t ignore Meghana Foods!
And to allay consumer fears in a covid world, they seem to be following many of the practices - temperature checks, hand sanitation, sealed takeaway packs, etc. - that will have to be the norm when it comes to eating out. Hope you enjoy this one, take care and stay safe.
Note: This episode was first released in May 2020 and is being rerun to support local eateries.
Special Veg Biryani
A biryani that panders to a vegetarian’s biryani craving. The rice is flavourful, and the side of tossed vegetables draws clever inspiration from a mirchi ka salan in its flavours.
Rs. 230 (usd 3)
8/10
Aloo Dum Biryani
The potatoes are fried to a delicious brown and have absorbed the flavourful character of the fried onions and the spices. With the mildly spiced biryani rice, it makes for a tasty combination.
Rs. 214 (usd 2.8)
7.5/10
Chicken Biryani
A biryani that is made in the traditional Hyderabadi style with loads of masala, this is the biryani to try here. The meat is juicy, moist and flavourful, cooked perfectly to the bone.
Rs. 242 (usd 3.2)
8.5/10
Chicken Boneless Biryani
Tender morsels of boneless meat, tossed in a spicy batter are served as an accompaniment to fluffy grains of biryani rice. Though a dish that is far removed from a traditional Hyderabadi biryani, it still commands legions of fans, I suspect partly because the spicy morsels of meat and generous portion of rice served makes it ideal for sharing.
Rs. 248 (usd 3.3)
8/10
Mutton Biryani
The meat was a tad chewy and dry and lacking succulence, the rice though had a nice depth of flavour. Not a biryani that I would order again.
Rs. 301 (usd 4)
7/10
Note: Due to the current uncertain situation, please call the eatery to ascertain the timings and what is available. Prices may have changed since when this episode was originally published a year ago.

This Biryani Is Steamed In Bamboo For Two Hours! NRK BAMBOO BIRIYANI Food Truck, Mysuru
#biryani #streetfood #mysore
biryani food truck, nrk bamboo biryani, mysuru, bamboo biryani, mutton biryani, chicken biryani, chicken tawa fry, small business
On my last trip to Mysuru, I visited this food truck that cooks an unusual biryani, layered and steamed in bamboo. Helmed by a relatively new food entrepreneur, Ramamurthy, who was left with no option but to move to Mysuru and begin this mobile eatery to support his family after losing his life’s savings, the bamboo biryani is a result of his culinary passion and kitchen experiments. This version of the biryani that is steamed in bamboo for a couple of hours, isn’t what one may traditionally expect, but certainly makes for an interesting dish to taste! Check it out if you find yourself in Mysuru. Hope you enjoy this short and sweet episode, take care, stay safe and happy eating!
Mutton Biryani
The sort of biryani that tumbles onto the plate when semi-cooked meat masala is placed in the bottom of a bamboo cylinder, topped with aromatic rice and egg, and steamed for a couple of hours. The thick masala clinging to the meat serves to moisten the rice and the meat, some pieces soft and yet others that warrant a bit of a chew. The bamboo lends its aroma to the preparation.
Rs. 200 (usd 2.7)

Note: They also serve a chicken biryani at Rs. 150; the vibe is that of a food truck in an open area.

The boys found themselves pursuing engineering degrees in Bengaluru, yet dreaming of seafood. Upon completing their studies, the engineers returned to Kundapur, built a food truck, roped in a village cook, before driving back to Bengaluru to launch their ‘Mangalore in Bangalore’ sea food enterprise. I visit them on a rainy evening for an interesting chat, and return mighty impressed with the marine spread on offer, the un-compromised rustic flavour of most of the dishes that I taste, and their commitment to offering fresh seafood at honest prices. If Dakshina Kannada coastal fare is your thing, or you are a seafood lover, do look up this young but delicious venture. Hope you enjoy this episode; take care, stay safe and strong. Happy eating.

Five generations of the Pawar family have inhabited this house in Chamarajapuram, Mysuru, that over the last few years has also made space for a modest courtyard restaurant where guests are served homely dishes that celebrate the Maratha lineage of the family but incorporating local ingredients and keeping the city’s palate in mind. I visit them impromptu one afternoon and after a warming conversation with the hosts and a quick tour of the house, sit down for a delicious meaty meal that I would gladly return to in a heartbeat. Hope you enjoy this episode. Take care, stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

Tried The Famous HOSKOTE KABAB & Hoskote Chicken Biryani For First Time! RAVI KABAB CENTER

Almost everyone has heard about and many have tasted the early morning biryani at Hoskote, a pre-sunrise ritual 40 kilometers from Bengaluru. However, few visitors seem to know about a fried kabab evening tradition that is hugely popular with locals. On a drive back from Kolar a few weeks ago, we took a detour into this highway town to savour a quick meal of chicken kabab, egg rice, and a chicken biryani too. The last wasn’t on our plan, but then, we were in biryani country after all. Definitely check out Ravi Kabab Center when in the area, and be prepared to jostle with the crowd to get your share of bisi bisi (hot) kababs.
Hope you enjoy this one. Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!
