century. We know the history little better during 1800 to 1900. During Mughal empire, Lucknow in the North was known as
Awadh, giving rise to Awadhi Biryani. In 1856, British deposed the Nawab or King of Lucknow in Calcutta giving rise to another version of Biryani called Calcutta Biryani with slightly different ingredients and spices. Needless to say it was a royal dish for the kings and Nawabs of that era. The secret of preparing this dish is in the technique called “dum” of cooked for long under pressure on low heat. We have adapted the cooking method of Lucknow style with the spice combination of Hyderabad in the South and the final finishing method of Delhi’s Mughals. The basmati rice is half boiled using whole spices and kept aside. The base is prepared with vine-ripened tomatoes, red onions, ginger, garlic, homemade yogurt, black peppers, raisins, saffron, cardamoms, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, chopped mint and the essence of screw-pine flower called Kewara and a special blend of about 24 different roasted and ground spices. The chicken (or other meats/seafood) chunks are added to this base until tender and then the
half boiled basmati rice are added to it. The cooking vessel is sealed with a heavy lid to provide ‘dum’ on a low heat to let
cook under its own steam.$15.9515.95 USD

Your chef/host’s interest in serving goat meat – a much sought after Indian delicacy –arose when a famed rancher, Bill Niman, returned from retirement to raise goats in Bolinas, Calif. It has been a taboo for long to serve goat meat in Indian restaurants because it was a common notion that the main stream would not like it! However, the recent trend of serving goat meat or chevon in up-scale restaurants has encouraged ethnic eateries to offer their traditional mutton dishes to their patrons. This new trend has not only driven the demand of goat meat but also doubled the price of it! The bone-in chunks of goat meat are first marinated with little yogurt, black salt, black peppers, ground cumin and coriander seeds and kept aside for a couple of hours. The base masala is prepared with chopped red onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes and a freshly ground blend of garam masala spices. Once the base curry is well tempered and golden dark in color, chunks of marinated mutton is added to it and sautéed over low heat for about one hour. Once the meat is fork-tender we add some hot water to it and simmer until the desired color and taste is achieved. This simple, tasty and nutritious dish is served with your choice of bread or basmati rice.
