Hot & Spicy Laal Maas

Could you think of a better way to spend your weekend than devouring royal delicacies?  Laal Maas or red hot meat curry is a well known authentic traditional dish from Rajasthan. As the name suggests, this is an intensely spicy dish and it gets its warm vibrant red color from nothing but the red chili peppers which is used to cook it. The dish is too delicious to melt in mouth.

‘Laal Maas’ was a favorite of the gallant Rajput clan. The meat that was caught during hunts was cooked in dry red chillies and whole spices and was simmered in huge handis for hours together. Tomatoes and other vegetables were not native to the land, so chillies and spices were all they had to create the dynamite called ‘Laal Maas’. The meat was then served to the kings in beautiful brassware.

You must have got it by now that this is not a dish for the “fainthearted”. 🙂 But if you love spicy food, do give it a try at Handi Restaurant Jaipur. We promise, you won’t regret.  It tastes absolutely delicious when eaten combined with bajra roti. Just come down to Handi and savor the hot and spicy Laal Maas.

Biryani bash !!

So what exactly comes to your mind when we ask you your top favorite foods? Generally, people of all ages never ever forget to call out ‘Biryani’ as one of their top favorites. But do you know from where did your favorite dish come into existence??

Biryani is believed to be a Persian dish as the word ‘Biryani’ came from Persian ‘Biryan’ meaning fried or roasted before cooking that is the hidden sapor behind this scrumptious dish. Biryani, for centuries now, has been a popular dish among Muslims while moving with them civilization after civilization. It claimed its proper cooking style during the Mughal era and that’s the reason why it is called a “food fit for kings”.

Cooking style of biryani is different for different communities but the main essence behind making of biryani is that rice and meat or vegetables are cooked separately and later, brought together and steamed. The most basic ingredients that each and every Biryani recipe uses are onion, garlic, ghee, mint leaves and most importantly, the ‘Indian Khada masalas’ like the cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg mace, cloves, bay leaves etc. The popular biryani meats are chicken, lamb, mutton, fish, shrimps, quails and sometimes egg and even potatoes.

Out of the various varieties of Biryani, Handi serves the delicious mutton biryani, chicken biryani and veg. biryani and people love to have all the biryanis with ‘Raita’. One can have a variety of things with Biryani like the chilling mixed veg. raita , sliced masala onions or vinegar onions and not to be missed: the tangy mint chutney. Yummy!!! Isn’t your mouth watering?

In mutton biryani, mutton is first marinated with all the ingredients overnight so that all the ingredients get perfectly soaked by the mutton, and then steamed with semi cooked rice.

What do we say about the magical, flavorsome and aromatic Chicken Biryani? You have to come down yourself and gorge into it !!

Veg. biryani includes all the vegetables life onions, potatoes, cauliflower chopped and fried together with the ‘masalas’ followed by mixing with steamed rice. Doesn’t it all seem damn sumptuous?

You can have the piquant taste of these delectable Biryani dishes at Handi Restaurant located at M.I. road and Vaishali Nagar to satisfy your taste buds any day, anytime !!

Feel the heat with Handi meat

There are certain festivals and celebrations which are incomplete without the special Handi mutton made with some special twist !!

Every time you go to a place and eat this dish, you want to ask aloud: ‘Who made this?’ not to kiss their hands but to ask them to part with their recipe!! That is the thing with mutton; everyone has a different way of cooking it, and every new person who borrows a recipe will over the time add a personal touch to it.

At Handi Restaurant, this spicy mutton dish is cooked on low charcoal for hours in a handi, or clay pot in true Rajasthani Style. You can simply close your eyes and order a Handi meat dish here and we promise to serve you the best !!

You can relish the various versions of this amazing dish with or without the side dishes like raita, lal mirch, dhaniya chutney, assorted breads, baati and have even delighted in the somewhat strange combination of Biryani with the gravy of Handi mutton.
