Like this delicious lunch that we savoured at this popular eatery in Hassan, 210 kms from Bengaluru, a couple of months ago. Guided by suggestions from our viewers, I didn't quite know what to expect when I walked into a bustling lunch session here late one afternoon on our way back from Mangalore. But the memory of the rustic, homestyle Gowda dishes that I tasted here, lingers to this day. Suffice to say I would happily make the 210 km drive to Mamatha Hotel in a heartbeat just to savour the food all over again. Hope you enjoy the episode. I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a fabulous 2021. Take care and stay safe. Katla Fry Coated in a delicious spiced batter that complements the earth flavours of the freshwater fish, the katla fry is a popular dish here for all the right reasons. The crispened skin and the masala work well to cradle the fleshy fish. Rs. 160 (usd 2.2) for 2 pieces 9/10 Mutton Korma Notwithstanding bits of fat ribboned through it, the juicy chunks of meat have a bit of a bite. And as you chew on it, you are rewarded with the robust flavours of the curry. This is the sort of delicious mutton curry you would taste in a Gowda home in the area. Makes for a great accompaniment to the ragi mudde and steamed rice. Rs. 170 (usd 2.3) 9/10 Mutton Biryani Flecks of fat abound in this biryani, that is redolent with the aroma of mint and coriander, and do well to coat the zesty, hard-spice laced rice with its unctuousness. The meat is mild in its flavour and benefits from being combined with the rice. Rs. 210 (usd 2.9) 7.5/10 Chicken Leg Piece The chicken is tender and juicy, the masala has penetrated deep into the meat that is cooked through to the bone. The spicy batter that crumbs the chicken has depth of flavour that is quite endearing. Rs. 140 (usd 1.9) for 2 pieces 9/10 Chicken Fry The chicken pieces, in a slightly thick gravy, have bits of skin clinging to it. Rs. 140 (usd 1.9) 7/10 Kripal Amanna, Gourmet On The Road, Food Lovers TV TIMINGS: 1230pm to 10pm Note: Sundays, 1230pm to 5pm; opt to sit upstairs, it is less crowded.
