I only use 3 spices in my cooking - chilli powder, turmeric powder and garam masala powder. And of course, salt. Missus is Jain. So, onions are out. Ginger and garlic, rarely used. And she's Gujarati. Gujarati food is so sweet in comparison, it's like eating ice cream. They love their "chaas". We call it buttermilk. Or majiga. Drink a glass of majiga every night before going to sleep. She took me to Samrat. The one in Marine Drive. Couldn't take two bites out of any dish, they were too sweet. Finished off the chaas like champion. The waiter got sick of serving me, left the jug at the table and told me to help myself. velu, coffee_rules, Mariyam and 3 others 6

In the Chicken Biryani, I could swear there was rose water in there. Or rose essence. Or something to do with roses. First for me. And I'm sucker for Biryani. Have tried different styles. If you're from Hyderabad and you don't know your biryanis, we can't be friends Rose water and Kewra (screwpine flower) water are essential in a Hyderabadi biryani. Just before starting dum process, you mix these two essences along with saffron threads (and food coloring) in some warm milk and spoon it over the top of the half-cooked rice grains. EnterTheVoid 1

IMO, any biryani (incl Hyd) is made to be very flavourful, but not heat-spicy. The heat comes from the accompaniment - saalan or shorba.
Yoda-esque Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 The videos are well made and the language is flowy. I've attended a wedding in Kashmir. The food was mind blowing. They have this meatball thing called as the "goshtaba" which is served just after the main course. I've tried many times to get it here, but its not even close to one I had at that wedding. My only complaint with the Kashmiri cuisine is that they douse far too much cinnamon. Even in their clear soup. Makes the eyes watery and in combination with certain other masalas, the food is super spicy. Kashmiri cuisine is pretty different.Lots of sauf and saut.Also strangely they eat more rice than roti. I have had Rista and Goshtaba at Poush in Mumbai but it was terrible.tasted worse than Subway meatball. Mariyam 1

In the days when I was eating sweets, Puran PoLis with a super-spicy KaTaachi Aamti ... a great invention of humankind. Yes fav - Kolhapuri dishes. I have learnt and usually make Simla mirch Zunka. Also, their Poha style is a bit different from Karnataka. Like it for novelty value. Sabudana poha is the best invention. I think with Sabudana, Poha and Aloo, they do a lot of dishes. Holige beats Puran Polis hands down. Sorry to say. Edited May 19, 2021 by coffee_rules BacktoCricaddict 1

You mean sabudana khichdi? Sabudana, Poha, Aloo and don't forget shengdaaNe (groundnut). Their upwaas cuisine of sabudana khichdi with green chilies and peanuts, aloo bhaaji with green chilies and peanuts, sabudana wada with peanuts ... more kcal than non-upwas days. :-). As for puran poLis, it is more about the spicy kaTaachi aamTi than the puran poLi itself. Edited May 19, 2021 by BacktoCricaddict
