Ramadan Feast - on streets of Bangalore
After a long, unintentional break, here's back to writing and salivating about food. Not that I took a break from that - intentional or otherwise. The holy month of Ramadan is always accompanied by the brilliant feasting options after a long day's fasting. In the small by-lanes of Bengaluru, await innumerable stalls that make delicious food, hot and unbelievably tasty. It was Friday evening, and a bunch of us decided to head to Mosque Road, Frazer town. Guided impeccably by a localite (thanks Praveen) we managed to beat traffic and land up there bang on time for the feast to begin.
Lights on every corner, bright burning fires, huge vessels cooking meat and of course the wafting aroma of delectable food assaulted us. We stopped by the first shop we see on entering the road. Quickly we end up ordering Haleem, Chicken rolls, plates of mutton and beef and keema samosas. The chicken rolls were cold but had flavor. Mutton and Beef were cooked to perfection with the juices dripping off them and extravagantly coated in a multitude of spices. The keema samosa were a let-down since they did not have too much keema in them and were a little plain.
Apologies for the bad photos but I was busy licking my fingers clean and juggling multiple plates of food to bother about perfection in photo taking :-)
Let me give you some of the best items on menu there - beef kebabs, mutton liver and rolls.
And yeah.. there are dessert options and we dug into those too happily. It ranges from phirni, fruit pudding, caramel custard, gajar ka halwa to an exotic souffle made of tender coconut shavings. The pudding and the coconut souffle were exceptional while the rest were no mean slouches either.
All in all.. an amazing experience .. brilliant food and decent prices and a fantastic experience to savor. Just make sure you pick a dry day with no rains :-) then let loose and indulge to your heart's content.
