Lahoris dhaba

Lahoris dhaba We had Samosa, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Paratha roll and Peshawari Namkeen Karahi. Samosa in the picture looked ethereal, but what was on our plate was ok. Chicken Biryani is impressive in taste and quantity. Spicy. Chicken Paratha roll had mint and mirchi chutney, with all its concomitant kick of spice. The owner said that Peshawari Namkeen Karahi is a traditional dish for which people travel from Tucson. He also said that some of his customers think that in the future, he will be exclusively selling that dish. In reference with this dish he referred to  Namak Mandi  or salt market.

Mediterranean mix Vegetable Biryani

I love Mediterranean mix. I make  a quick curry of it, even without adding onions. For the  Vegetable Biryani , I used the mix and Shaan Bombay Biryani Masala. To give body, I added onions too. The biryani turned out good and it had a sweet fragrance to it too. Having had too much chicken in the past couple of days, a veggie Biryani was today's special for an anniversary. I was not a fan of Shaan Masala but friends who are expert cooks swear by it. 12.5.14 I tried it again with Basmati Rice,  While talking about the mediterranean vegetable mix, our friends suggested Asparagus Blend.
