(long overdue post- 2 months):
agoodfriend of mine (a keralite and coincidentally my roommate) grabbed a whopping offer, from cisco, and so his career in hyderabad was nearing its end.
before leaving for bangalore, we wanted, to try together, this so-called “mandi” (a yemeni rice that is offering stiff competition to the age-old hyderabadi pride -“biriyani”). and so we headed straight to the tolichowki branch.
though i had frequented, this place over a dozen times before, “the kabsa rice”, was lately introduced then. what makes every rice dish of theirs, flavourful enough for a re-visit, purely lies in their secret sauce.
when i fished for feedback, he said ”it tastes comparatively different from, what we get in kerala. but i liked it.”
then i gleefully “glad that you liked it. ok then, let's head for a kunafa. it is just two blocks away”
