Baluchi - A Pan Indian Destination — Restaurant in Mumbai

Exquisite tastes at Zaika-e-Awadh Zaika-e-Awadh food festival is a specially curated menu under the aegis of Chef Mohd. Rais Alam and Chef Parimal Sawant. True to the name this menu befits the food eaten by Nawabs. I got a chance to savor the dinner spread at Baluchi. Fresh rose shot made with rose petals and with a little tanginess of lemon. Starters:

1. Gosht Zafrani seekh kebabs - traditional minced meat with saffron flavor. The taste was marvelous. 2 )Murgh Parachay - boneless chicken breast pieces marinated in cream, cheese and cardamom. roasted on tawa. Finger licking stuff. The texture was a major drawing factor to this dish.
2. Mawa aur mawey ki seekh - dry fruit minced and mawa roasted on clay oven. The fragrance was totally spell binding.
3. Subz ki galawat -Traditional galawat with tender tawa fried vegetables. Main course.
4. Bhuney pyaaz aur mirch ka Murgh - Semi-thick chicken curry made of rich onion and tomato gravy. I fell in love with the curry in this dish.
5. Shahi Nihari -Traditional nihari in royal mild spices and flavors. The nihari was handled really well by the Chef, it turned out to be a delight.
6. Begum Hazrat Mahal Subz Korma - Seasonal vegetables cooked in tomato gravy, finished with mawa & cream.
7. Talley aloo ka Qorma - Potatoes fried over extremely low heat and simmered in the saffron-tinged gravy
8. Dal baluchi - signature preparation of Baluchi of black lentils on a charcoal fire, finished with cream. A vegetarian dish worthy of giving competition to the non-vegetarian menu.
9. Safed Chawal - Basmati steamed rice.
10. Rotiyon ki tokri - assorted rotis.
11. Taftaan - A traditional Middle Eastern bread. It can be had with any gravy dish. The taste is lovely and the fragrance is laden with the essence of cinnamon. Sweets.
12. Gulkand ki phirnee- traditional Nawabi phirnee with a gulkand twist. Served in a kullhad, one cannot go wrong with this dessert. It simply rubs its magic on you and is the perfect end to a long meal.
13. Shahi tukra- Perfect soak bread. The atmosphere was accentuated with the renditions of classic Ghazals sung live by a duo performing live in the center of the restaurant. The interiors of the place are laced with paintings and artifacts depicting the Awadhi culture. The service was top of the class and all orders and dishes were handled carefully. Indeed, a place which gives the royal treatment to their customers. I highly recommend this place for its taste and...
