This week has been a good but very tiring. Happy that we still went about our routine weekend to explore and it turns out 4/4 till now. We did a Pot Biryani fare and it tested our character for sure. At first, though the Biryani is served in an earthen pot I sincerely doubt if they were cooked in it. No claims by the promoters SJS Pot Biryani in Kalyan Nagar either. For those who wonder, its hard to cook Biryani in earthenware as it takes a lot of time and unless you have a strong earthen pot please do not try it. Slowly cooked Dum Biryani is possible but not if the heat is high.
As you might have realized that my daughter prefers Chicken Biryani. This is a paradox as her first choice of meat is mutton and only if she does not get that or prawns would she even think of chicken. But for Biryani, does not seem so….We went for the Chicken Biryani….house special and the regular Mutton Biryani. For those of who have gotten out of Hyderabad and Lucknow to try your taste buds to an unlikely candidate for Biryani: Chennai (then Madras) and have been to Amravati on RK Salai…this was a de-ja-vu. It was blended generously with green chilies and pre-fried meat that had a distinct sear on its body. I expected my kids to call it quits, but then one gets to know the tenacity of a Biryani lover. They went on to eat their fill. Makes my chest swell a bit…no a lot:)….
I want the taste of the amazing Biryani, nostalgia of Amravathi and my flattered ego ( thanks to my kids :)) to remain intact till the next time…Bye for now!
