Quintessential
Biryani
&
Kebabs
maintaining
all
hygiene
&
safety
measures
@
India
Restaurant.!
There
is
something
about
Biryani,
a
one
pot
meal
which
has
always
made
us
succumb
to
its
temptations
and
making
us
surrender
to
its
beckoning;
an
ultimate
enlightenment
for
a
glutton,
falling
prey
to
its
aroma
and
surrendering
to
its
flavour
profiles.
What
remains
debatable
though,
is
the
fine
line
of
difference
between
a
Biryani
and
a
Pulao/Pilaf,
something
which
is
still
considered
to
be
of
utmost
mystery
among
gastronomists.
Truly
giving
meaning
to
the
phrase
of
a
‘diversified
country’,
the
taste
and
make
of
a
Biryani
also
gets
varied
as
you
move
from
one
state
to
another
in
this
country.
What
remains
uncontested
though,
is
the
very
essence
of
a
Biryani
in
itself.
Kolkata
Biryani
as
such
has
always
been
close
to
our
heart.
Subtle
and
light
spices
giving
meaning
to
our
flavour
palettes,
with
a
simple
addition
of
our
beloved
potato,
and
sometimes
may
be
throwing
in
an
egg
to
complete
the
meal.
India
Restaurant
has
always
been
a
flagbearer
of
holding
the
standards
high,
by
dishing
out
some
amazing
varieties
of
Biryanis
cooked
by
their
experts
in
the
kitchen.
Located
near
Fancy
Market
in
Khidderpore,
a
tall
multi-storied
building
now
stands,
to
offer
their
patrons
a
sense
of
fine
dining,
apart
from
a
regular
walk-in
concept,
if
you
just
prefer
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
the
regular
flees.
A
quick
visit
post
the
lockdown
session,
it
was
quite
a
treat
to
the
eyes
indulging
in
those
quintessential
flavours,
along
with
the
additional
assurance
of
a
safe
and
hygienic
surroundings
maintained
by
the
management.
Head
caps,
disposable
gloves
and
regular
temperature
checks
was
a
treat
to
the
eyes
but
perhaps
more
satisfaction
to
the
discerning
brain
caught
in
the
concerns
of
the
ongoing
scare.
The
tables
are
kept
apart,
maintaining
strict
distance
norms.
What
remained
unchanged
were
the
flavours
we
flung
our
way
into,
all
the
way
from
the
other
side
of
this
city.
Some
quick
Biryani,
melting
Kebabs,
refreshing
mocktails
and
sumptuous
desserts
literally
won
our
hearts
over.
The
Awadhi
Biryani
was
subtle,
honoring
the
spices
and
lineages
of
our
very
own
Kolkata
Biryani,
and
as
the
legend
goes
of
being
the
origin
to
what
we
hold
so
dear
to
our
heart.
Quantity
sufficient
for
2
heads,
this
comprised
of
some
good
4
portions
of
Mutton
of
varying
sizes.
The
only
modification
to
this
Biryani
was
the
addition
of
the
succulent
potatoes,
something
which
has
become
an
indispensable
portion
of
the
heritage
and
culture
of
the
Biryani
scene
in
Kolkata.
And
then
there
were
the
fried
onions,
which
imparted
a
slight
sweet
texture
over
the
rustic
flavours
of
the
Mutton
and
the
decadent
aromas
of
the
potatoes.
The
Galawati
Kebabs
were
a
serious
throwback
to
the
food
scenes
at
Lucknow.
Soft,
melt
in
the
mouth
kebabs,
with
a
mix
of
countless
spices.
Some
say
it
is
well
around
40/50
easily,
the
secret
to
which
is
known
to
a
very
few.
Quite
hard
and
difficult
to
the
get
the
balance
right,
which
otherwise
would
make
these
Kebabs
very
coarse
for
our
palettes
to
digest
the
flavours.
Squeeze
in
a
dash
of
lime,
and
scoop
a
portion
of
these
kebabs
onto
the
flaky
Lucknowi
Paratha
or
the
Ulte
Tawa
ka
Paratha.
A
serene
and
sublime
experience,
it
is
very
hard
to
describe
how
one
feels,
other
than
passing
on
the
torch
of
beckoning
to
someone
else
reading
this
pen
down
of
the
divine
experience.
Some
quick
mocktails
on
the
likes
of
Shirley
Temple
and
Deep
Blue
Sea,
before
finishing
our
meal
with
Firni
and
Sahi
Tukda,
the
latter
of
which
has
been
my
favorite
since
ages
now.
The
perfect
balance
of
sweetness,
not
overdoing
on
the
frying
part;
this
sweet
dish
can
transport
you
any
day
straight
to
heaven.
With
two
souls
walking
in
with
a
lot
of
concerns
relating
to
hygiene
and
safety
factors,
what
came
out
were
two
gluttons
satisfied
with
the
meal,
slowly
caressing
their
tummies,
eagerly
awaiting
the
next
visit!
