| Chicken Pahadi Kebab |
We were craving for some old fashioned kebabs & biryani for quite some time now & we finally had our fill. What a feeling!
No matter how frequently one has fancy food, sometimes the
good old stuff has its way of winning you over. This happens more when you have
awesome company. We always look out for great presentation & stuff, but
this time we focussed mainly on stuffing our faces!
We were recently invited to a legendary restaurant in old
Bangalore called Rahhams. Situated in MM Road, Frazer town this restaurant
might not impress you when it comes to the décor, but when it comes to the
food: man! Their kebabs are mouth-watering and we were almost full by just
having their kebabs.
The best part is that for a hearty meal, your pocket does
not suffer here. The pricing is super reasonable when it comes to the quantity
& quality of food. If you are a large eater, this is your playfield!
The seating arrangement is quite spacious & their staff
is friendly & cooperative. So, coming down to the items we tried:
Rahhams is famous for their delectable kebabs & biryani
and so, we did not have any dessert as such.
We tried 4 starters: Chicken Chandni Kebab, Chicken Pahadi
Kebab and the Chicken & Mutton Sholey Kebab.
Then, for main course: Mutton Biriyani & Mutton Chops.
This post is all about non-veg so we apologize if you
started reading & you are a vegetarian.
The best chicken kebab out of the ones we tried was undoubtedly
the Pahadi. Everything was perfect about this kebab. The colour, the juiciness
of the chicken, the mustard flavour balanced with the charred touch and how
well it was done. This is made only with boneless chicken legs and it is as
tender as it gets.
The Chandni kebab is the child of the chicken reshmi kebab
& the chicken malai kebab, if you get what I mean. The chicken in this
kebab was also very succulent & the taste was unique and close to the malai
kebab. We also felt they use egg whites for the marinade, but whatever it may
be, it tasted splendid.

Now for the Chicken Sholey Kebab: It has a predominance of
curry leaves but the flavours actually went well. The pieces were flat and
small but the quantity was a lot. This was slightly on the oiler side but
sometimes the greasier things actually taste better. (Definitely not for people
on a diet). Lastly, this kebab needs to be consumed hot as if it turns cold
you’ll only get the flavour of the curry leaves.
Lastly, the Mutton Sholey kebab was the best of the lot.
This kebab is not boneless and that is where it gets better. The flavours of
the bone & the meat together make it unbelievably tasty & even while
writing we can feel it. Similar to the chicken, one can feel the flavour of
curry leaves but in this case, the mutton is so flavourful that the curry
leaves don’t stand a chance!
That’s all from the starters.

| Mutton Biryani |

| Sweet Kheer (Complimentary with Biryani) |
Their Mutton Biryani is legendary and we got a taste of it.
It is not a long grain rice preparation but a medium grain one but the aroma
& taste is what defines it. In most biryani’s the meat in either dry or
added separately but in this case, the mutton is juicy & the rice retains
the flavours too. This is served with salan & sweet kheer. We really liked
the biryani as it is light on the stomach, perfect with respect to quantity and
the flavours are not too loud.
Lastly, along with the biryani we had Mutton Chops as the
accompaniment. This is cooked with mutton on the bone with fat. The charred
pieces tasted heavenly. They had a smoky flavour as well which tastes great in
general but coupled with the flavour of mutton it tasted even better!
That’s all from this meaty episode.
Do check out the visuals to relate better.
We loved this experience as sometimes these less fancy
places give you more than the fancier ones!
Do let us know about your experience if you visit/have
visited.
We’ll be back again soon.
Till then—chew your food & bon apetit!
