Tiranga

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
