Peshawri at ITC Maratha

Same as Bukhara at Delhi.. Warm welcome and happy smiling faces is what one wants to see when you enter a restaurant that is exactly what I got.. Its Indian decor and dine in style gives an ethnic experience..To eat with hands they have do not provide spoons & fork.. Its said in india a meal is tastier if had using your fingers.. Well spaced seating a lil uncomfortable for me as I got the seats without back support!! They have sofas on one side & cushioned round seats without support on the other.. Here we get an apron to wear instead of napkins.. Let's talk about the food.. The starters: Scrumptious juicy Kebabs which just melts in your mouth.. Perfectly marinated and spiced.. The murgh malai grilled in tandoor and blended with cream cheese. Every bite was creamy..next was Barrah Kebab made of chunks from leg of lamb and lamb chops marinated with malt vinegar and yoghurt and char-grilled over red hot embers.. Seekh Kebab needs no description.. Spiced with royal cumin and saffron .. Grilled over charcoal fire.. Paneer Tikka marinated with cream and ajwain.. The Main Course: Dal Bukhara needs no words to describe.. One of its signature dishes since years, it has no comparison.. Made of whole urad dal cooked n simmered overnight served with unsalted butter.. Murgh Makhani tossed in tomato and cashew gravy served with a swirl of cream n ginger.. Tangy n perfectly spiced.. Desserts weren't exceptional..can easily skip : Ras malai, gulab jamun and kulfi falooda..

The Legacy of Traditional Food and Family Recipes

Walking down the lane of Zaveri Bazaar you will see many Bhagat Tarachands with a K or R or G but I chose to visit B Bhagat Tarachand (BBT). Started almost 40 years back by Shri Tarachand Chawla from Karachi, Pakistan who had moved to India after the partition. He started his business from a refugee camp where he cooked sabzi and roti. He directly served the sabzi over the roti on streets and where political rallies were held. Devki (by his wife's name) was the first restaurant in this lane where Shri Tarachand distributed food to the traders on credit (chopdi system) who were his regular customers and couldn't pay immediately. He was so generous that even if people did not have money he happily served them food. He wanted people to not starve and have fresh home style food so to give him honour people started calling him "Bhagat" A Lane of Zaveri Bazaar Ambience and Staff: B Bhagat Tarachand which opened with only a ground floor in the New Year

Phulrani - The Joy Ride

‘Mathe’  means ‘top’ and ‘raan’ means ‘forest’. Thus the name ‘Matheran’ means ‘forest on top’ which is 2,500 feet above the sea.  I have been here a number of times in childhood, not in monsoons though but each time I visit it makes me fall in love with the place. It's another getaway destination for Mumbaikars just 110 kms away and so we decide to do this in monsoons. Somewhere in the midst of my walk One of the reasons may be is that it's an eco-sensitive region and one of those rare places in India where vehicles are not allowed. We cannot imagine life without vehicles today. You need to park your car at Dasturi Naka. We wanted an economic trip so we chose the train-ride from CST to Neral. Better to get done with your nature calls at the station toilet itself as you will not find any on your way for the next 1.5 hours. From Neral Railway station we get share cabs for Rs. 80 per seat and if you book the entire cab you pay Rs. 40 Phulrani - The Joy Ride  You p
