Kichda

Sunday, June 8, 2014

Ali took me to this guy selling Kichda near Minara Masjid.

Though his stall was small in size, the Kichda was big on taste.

Kichda is a combination of lentils and meat. I guess it has all the possible dals combined together and meat in it. For garnishing it had burnt fried onion on top with pudina.

Though the bowl of Kichda was small, it was very heavy on my stomach, but the dish was mouth watering.

I was informed that there is beef in it. I started eating eat, no sign of the beef, so I again inquired, to this the guy told me that the bef pieces are at the bottom of the Kichda.

To my surprise there were two chunky pieces of beef there.

Trust me, it was so heavy that I couldnt even finish my bowl, so I immediately had the beef and took off. All for just a small price of Rs.20.

I am loving it.

Kebabs on the streets of Mumbai

Tuesday, June 3, 2014

After being cooled by the Apple and Watermelon Sharbat we headed furthur to have some kebabs.

The aroma of the kebabs made us make a pitstop at his place. A guy standing at the edge of the road with a table, which had a huge tawa (pan) with kebabs on it and another chatty with chopped onion, pudina and lemon.

   

We ordered ourselves a plate of kebabs. The kebabs come in two variety, the normal ones, not sure what they are called and the Shammi Kabab. 

Both the kebabs were deeply fried in oil. The normal ones were dark brown and were nice and crisp while the shammi kebab was mushy and soaked in oil. Taste wise both were awesome. The chopped and sliced onion mixed with pudina with a dash of lemon was good to eat too.  We enjoyed our oily kebabs and then headed off to have some refreshing colddrink to gulp down the oils.

Seekh Paratha at Sarvi Restaurant at Nagpada in Mumbai

Wednesday, May 7, 2014

I headed to South Mumbai to have some Seekh Paratha. 

Ali my foodie guide and good friend took me to Sarvi Restaurant located very near to the Nagpada Signal.

Like always there are no frills about this place, but it serves good food.
  

We comprising of Ali, Amit and me, sat there and in a mattter of minutes the waiter was around to take our order.

We ordered Seekh Paratha. This was the fastest delivery ever. In five minutes our order was served to us.




The Seekh was big in size was tender and was nicely cooked, what I also liked is that it was served in these tiffin boxes, which keep the food hot. So that the air conditioning doesn't cool them off.

The parathas reminded me of the ones I had in Parathewali Gulli in Delhi. By the look of it, it looks like a Bhature or a large Puri, but this is a different kind of Paratha, not the usual one's we eat.

The green chutney served along with it was also nice, though made of pudina, it tasted just right, couldnt stop my paratha from a holy dip in it. Also had onions, lemon and pudina for servings.

Overall it was a good food outing. I couldnt stop myself from wating three of each and finally my stomach could take no more.
