Best Kebabs and Goat Nihari in Melbourne

Well it has been really long since I last updated my blog, this specific post has been on my mind for a very long time. Every time

Goat Biryani

Goat Nihari

I think of this place I end up getting hungry and start eating rather than typing. Well I have finally gathered the courage to to write. This place I am talking about is "Man-O-Salva". It is just next to the Clayton station and that area is full of really nice amazing Indian restaurants. Well Man-O-Salva clearly stands out as the flavour, the smell and taste of the lamb kebabs, goat curry and biryani is simply amazing and it does not make me miss India for food at least. This place is cash only and on a weekend you will have to wait atleast 15-20 minutes to be seated. I had passed through the place many times and the place was full of people. One fine day decided to check the place out, once I entered the place I knew it is the right place, the ambiance was quite simple but I wasn't there for that the smell of the curries and kebabs was enough to judge the place. We had ordered for Kebabs to start with as starters, they were prepared the old traditional way on charcoal giving it that smoky flavour to the minced lamb, it is served with Tandoori Roti (Bread) along with it and some curd. They were melt in mouth kebabs which is what exactly I was looking for in the Kebabs, not like the Kebab Wraps we eat normally in Melbourne. One bite made my travel 10,199 KM within a second, talk about teleportation.

Kebabs

Well it is a tough task to follow for Goat Nihari (Goat Curry) after such amazing kebabs but it did not disappoint, the goat curry was equally good at loads of flavours, the goat was cooked to perfection. Our stomach was full but the heart wanted more and we ended up ordering for a Goat Biryani. The Biryani was also really good, we did not expect the biryani to taste so good after almost eating to our capacity before ordering. The rice were well cooked, the goat pieces were tender and I couldn't find any fault in either of the dishes. So if you guys are in Melbourne and looking for nice Indian kebabs, curry and Biryani then do visit this place. Give me a call if you plan to go, I just need an excuse to visit this place.

Dhaba Style Chai (Tea)

I am a tea lover, that is the first thing I want when I wake up in the morning. Me and family's mood is quite dependent on the morning tea. Specially in winters when it is cold outside, a hot cup of tea in the bed with a quilt over you is one of the best things about winters. At times I want to have the dhaba style tea that has lots of milk, sugar and is quite thick. It is actually quite easy to make at home. For that we will need: 

1) Half Cup Water

2) Half Cup Milk

3) 1 Tbsp Tea leaves

4) 2 Tbsp Sugar

5) A bit of grated ginger( Also add 1 cardamom if you like)

These measurements are for 1 Cup of Tea. 

The process is pretty Simple

Put water in the pan and on high flame, when the water starts to boil add grated ginger. Adding ginger when water is boiling adds more flavour of ginger. After that add tea leaves, sugar and milk. After adding all of these, put the gas on low flame and let the tea cook slowly. Once you see the colour getting a bit darker. Put the flame on high and let it boil, put it on simmer again and then put it on high flame. Repeat the process 2-3 times. This will help thicken the tea and gets cooked properly. Pour it into your favourite cup and enjoy

Best Indian Street Food in Sydney

During the Easter break me and my friend decided to travel to Sydney. Sydney is approximately 900 KM drive from Melbourne. We decided to drive to Sydney to save traveling cost. The drive to Sydney is the most boring drive ever. It is a long straight road, no great landscape to watch or look on the way. Dead straight drive for 900 KM. Will recommend driving only if 3 or more people can drive, you can take turns and will be a bit easier. Well Sydney welcomed us with rains non stop rains for our stay. The funny part is it only stopped raining the day we had to head back to Melbourne. Anyways returning to the food part of the story, well being born and brought up in India rainy weather makes you want to have Chai & Pakoda( Fried stuff). After 10 hours of driving and covering 900 KM we were really hungry and wanted to eat some nice Indian Food. We had gone to stay at our friend's house in Sydney, he told us about this place in Harris park called "Chatkazz" which serves the most authentic Indian street food, but the dilemma was that it was a good Friday holiday and everything was getting shut early, so we decided to go for drinks and next morning to Chatkazz for breakfast at that place. Whole night I decided what all will be eating, must have got dreams about food that night, don't remember now. So this place Harris park is called mini India, it surely felt like one.

Well around this place you will get all sorts of things to eat that you get back in India like Pan, Kulfi-Falooda and Chinese food Indian style. On finally reaching Chatkazz I was mesmerized by the fragrance of Indian spices, It felt like home. I was amazed at reading the Menu as it had a wide variety of Indian snacks, from Dosas to Missal Pav to Jalebi, you think of a Indian snack it will be on their menu. We ordered Dabeli, Vada Pav, Pav bhaji and Ragda Patties. The ambiance and place looked nice though the taste of the food matters the most people forget the rest. One by one our dishes started coming.

Dabeli

Vada Pav

Vada Pav

Ragda Patties

Well the food was good, as good as you get back in India. Everything we ordered was really good, I was tempted to try missal pav but I had to try some non veg curries so thought may be next time. As I told you guys earlier this place has a lot of interesting things to offer in the menu and I guess all of them will be as nice as you get back in India. So give this place a try if you are missing Indian food or want to experience how Indian street food taste like.
