I had only this feeling after I had my dinner last Friday - 'How could I miss this? Its So yummy and so good :D' And only the delicious cuisines prompted me to write my foodie entry on blog.

The place is situated right after we cross SNDT flyover from Nal Stop on Paud Road, which is easy to spot. The entrance is bit small and however, as you enter through the gates, homely dining hall welcomes you wholeheartedly.

Typically, there is a waiting for atleast 20 minutes, if you are on Weekends, so do have spare time in hand :) Once your name gets called, you'll be allocated a table.

As a first timer, I had reserved half of dinner for famous Biryani and wanted to try Mutton Masala Fry, another recommendation from Friends. The service is prompt and attentive. Waiters will definitely answer all your queries regarding food and other details.

So we ordered Mutton Masala Fry, SolKadhi and Jwari Bhakri as main course and Mutton Biryani.

Within small time, dishes were served, and they were traditional Maharashtrian plates. Water was served not in Jug glass or bottles but in Tambya (Loti), Pela, another trademark Maharashtrian style.

SolKadhi arrived first and was fine. Solkadhi is a Konkani drink and not the curry served before meals for its digestive properties especially before and after heavy meals! It satiates your stomach after heavy spicy meal. It’s made up from Kokam, and Coconut milk with green chilies and tempered with various spices. Now, the actual drink arrived in glass garnished with Dhania and Curry Leaves. The pink curry served was mildly spicy, with smell of cloves. It was not so sweet, and not very spicy, just right. And after taking few sips, I felt it also fueled my hunger and was impatiently waiting for main course J

And when dishes arrived, the first thing I noticed was the portion size. The Bhakris' were large and soft. The Mutton Masala Fry portion was good enough for 3, which was supported with Rassa, specialty item at Tiranga. After trying lot of restaurants, finally I was having a very good looking mutton dish. Darkish red gravy with 6 to 7 pieces served in small pital kadhai was very inviting.  Fragrance of portion along with spices was nourishing and garnished with fine green dhania made the final mark. The red gravy was titillating and the Red Rassa was challenging. We couldn’t wait more and started our dinner. With the first byte, you’d notice the tenderness of piece and you’d say complete justice done to the meat! Soft and tender and smooth. The skill of chef was commanding as the spices were appropriately filled till bones (we had not ordered boneless ;)). We applied Rassa on portions and also tried sipping it. Once the rassa went through the throat, I could feel the warmth of spices and smoothness of it. Thumps Up!

Mutton Biryani arrived after we finished with Bhakris and Masalas. The first look of Biryani was bit disappointing as it looked like typical roadside item with rice served over mutton. However, as it was poured in plates, delicious looking pieces came right through rice layers. Note that this is not Hyderabadi Biryani; its Tiranga’s own preparation and is alternate of dum style. Mutton pieces were judiciously spiced and was living upto the reputation. It was mildly hot with various spices satiating all your senses with their fragrance, looks and tenderness.

Overall, the dinner was very good, had awesome dishes and many more occasions to come and fill myself with various dishes @ Tiranga J

China - US - US China ?????

Was happen to read a article at Times : http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/China-flexes-muscle-in-Indian-Ocean-Navy-concerned/articleshow/20032323.cms

First two para interesting ;)

--
NEW DELHI: Increasing presence of the Chinese maritime forces in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and disciplinary issues in the force are expected to be discussed by the top Navy brass in their commanders' conference starting on Tuesday. 
--

I was impressed after reading this para that our intelligence can actually spot this into our Indian Ocean Region and they are doing things! However to utter dismay was second para:

--
The Navy has been concerned over the increasing presence of Chinese navy's submarines and other warships in the IOR. In a recent report submitted to the defense ministry, the Integrated Defense Staff headquarters had informed the government quoting the data by American agencies that 22 encounters of Chinese submarines have taken place outside its territorial waters in the IOR. 
--

Should I laugh or cry? Are our agencies so pathetic that we had to rely for American agencies to understand presence of Chinese maritime forces in IOR? Moreover, how Americans knew this? Do they have access to our IOR? Don't this question be asked as well? Or do we blindly trust Americans? I think we have outsourced all this to US :P

This article being in Times, I have started to think that this is definitely BAD Reporting :) or ... Chhi Be. We are definitely marooned. 

भूतदया परमो धर्म:

ये क्या हो रहा है? ये क्या हो रहा है? An Ex-Army man attacked a Convicted Terrorist in high-security Kot Bhalwal Jail in Jammu. This is really really ugly turn of events. Now that Sanaullah bechara, is in Coma. (Now on another note, I wonder, it took 7 days to Sarbajit to get into Coma. And he's in just 12 hours.) Is this our culture? Vinod Kumar from Uttarakhand, who hit him with Bricks and shovels; is from Army! 

That's too bad. What happened to Army? Are they not supposed to follow orders?  अब यार इतनी छोटी छोटी बातोसे ऐसे करोगे तो कैसे होगा? 

Think about your Government. Take inspiration from them. Our PM reacts after 10 days when some poor Chinese hoteliers setup McManchurian. They wake up when Poor Sarabjit is dead. They wake up after 30 years and say Sajjan Bhai is really sajjan and not guilty even though narrow minded fundamentalist people say that they are eyewitness to his crimes. Such things destroys our soft nation image in world yar. Don't you know we are very resilient (by force) in nature? वैसे भी कानूनको हाथमे लेके तुमने अच्छा नही किया विनोद!

Now they'd need to give statement for cowardly act of their own Indian Citizen. तुम्हे कैसे लगेगा सुननेमे जाब हमारेही पंतप्रधान और आदरणीय साहेबां जब तुम्हारे इस घृणास्पद कृत्य की निंदा करेंगे वो भी अपने ही देसके TV Channels Reporters के सामने? पुरे देश का मानसम्मान मिट्टीमे मिला दिया. These talks are reserved from terrorists and non state actors across the border. How would they look in mirror off your cowardly act? Even death of Sarabjit and incursion of Chinamen had failed to do so. Don't you know सोये हुये को जगाना बहोत बुरी बात है?

Do you have any idea whats that gonna mean? Your act is scar on face of our peaceful country. They had to wake up and assure our neighbor that all other Convicted (Terrorists) inmates of Pakistani Origin will be well taken care off. They'd be getting Biryani from Paradise every other day. Hot and airlifted right from Paradise square. Some bollywood people would now need to make special arrangements of dance shows to these folks. Your act has already cost us wasted airlifting trip to Chandigad, had cost 2 Hawildars and a superintendent their job. How would their family live in such cruel world? Who'd pay Hafta to them knowing that they are not in service? Don't you think? Kya yehi sikha inhone? Where are moral values of non violence? Our Indian ladies send Rakhi's to brothers in Jail Inmates. That make you brother of everyone in Jail. Do brothers show such brutality?

Bad Boy Vinod - Don't you know बुरा मत सुनो बुरा मत करो बुरा मत सोचो ... What have you done?  

Now our (Dushman)Dost desh Pakistan demanded immediate release and repatriation of its national Sanaullah. They gave us Most Favored nation status and we repay them with this?

I urge my PM to send poor soul back. Let him be treated in Best of the Best medical facilities in his homeland. Lets teach world a lesson in Humanity. We should also give him compensation for getting hit from Ex-Army veteran in Jail. Indian Army should be taught to not hit persons from across the border. They are not taking any action against Chinese McManchurian hotel in DBO and attacking poor Pakistani Terrorists in Indian Jail.

McManchurian!

Here's latest update from an High Ranking Officer in Government!

Don't take Tension. Its just an authentic Chinese Manchurian and Hakka Noodles Joint Opened at destination - DaulatBeg Oldi. Some Chinese soldiers were too frustrated when they eat Paneer Manchurian at New Delhi at Republican Day Parade. Our Secretary of Eateries dept personally served them with dish, which was not really well received. Hence this authentic food joint was opened. We only received letter from Chinese late because of snail mail services in state of Himachal Pradesh which was ruled by some non congress parties till last year. Due to sheer incompetence of them and their lack of interest in infrastructure  letter delivery happened real late. (Also, we couldn't open the email). This will now be taken care by our new regime. 

Our representatives who attended meetings with various delegations also recommend various dishes like KongBomb, PakkiNoodles, BheJaPhrayy etc.  

So its our sincere request to all mango men to enjoy authentic Chinese food in this season of Mangoes. Kindly don't panic and enjoy authentic Chinese food at DBO when you next visit Ladakh!!

Like we predicted here (Read Last Line), Chinese have kept their word and they came with their own kitchen with them :)

Note from Chinese consulate - 

1. Please have passports stapled with entry permit when you visit DBO. This will ensure that you are legitimate visitor.

2. We are also planning to open few joints in Leh, Manali, Delhi etc, stay tuned!
