Simple omelettes, comforting toasts made with wholesome bread from their bakery, old-fashioned cutlets and sandwiches, the sort that can brighten up a dull day. In this episode, filmed just before they closed doors owing to the current crisis, I partake of a couple of their breakfast must-haves, their crowd-pleasing fish biriyani and a prawn fry that pays ode to the establishment’s Keralan roots, and also take a look at how they tried their their best to keep serving customers in these trying times. I hope this landmark cafe, an indelible part of the city’s history, emerges stronger in due course. Take care and stay safe. Do catch our previous Koshy’s episode for an in-depth look at their history and the must-have breakfast dishes here: KOSHY’S BEST BREAKFAST DISHES| Mutton Cutlet, Appam Stew, English Brekkie... Exclusive KITCHEN TOUR https://youtu.be/YCMp44D6jak Tomato Cheese Toast This dish celebrates the sweet tartness and textures of tomato - crisp dices, sauteed near pulpy bits and thick sauce slathered over thick toast of Koshy’s homemade bread. Shavings of cheese round off the flavours with savoury notes. Rs. 170 (usd 2.3) 8/10 Mutton Omelette Food doesn’t have to be complicated, but the sort where it touches your soul. Like this simple omelette, beaten egg rolled around mutton mince that seasoned sparingly, sings the flavor of the meat. Savoured with some toast and butter, this is the breakfast of Koshy’s champions! Rs. 240 (usd 3.2) 8/10 Chilli Chicken Koshy’s version of this Sino-Indian staple that one will only find in India is generous in the peppers and onions, but lacking in some chilli punch one would expect. I also wish the sauce had permeated the chicken better. Rs. 360 (usd 4.8) 6/10 Fish Biriyani This fish biriyani has been on Koshy’s menu for decades and is the sort that requires one to redefine the notions of a biryani. Composed of plump steaks of kingfish, fried, cooked in a gravy and then topped with basmati rice, it isn’t one for the biryani purist, but certainly makes an impression on the palate. Rs. 430 (usd 5.8) 7/10 Kerala Prawn Fry A delicious preparation of tiny fried chemmeen, prawns. One can taste the sweetness of the prawns juxtaposed against the toasty herbaceousness of the curry leaves, the singe of pepper, the lilt of coriander and other spices. Rs. 500 (usd 6.7) 9/10 Plum Cake Koshy’s plum cake has legions of fans not just in Bengaluru and the country but across the world. The fruits are macerated, rendering a slightly bitter edge against the sweetness and subtle spicing of this plum cake that is not as heady and alcohol-laced as some traditional cakes can be. It makes for the perfect sweet close to a meal here with some coffee. Rs. 40 (usd 0.5) 9/10 Koshy’s Special Coffee Rs. 52 (usd 0.7) 8/10 ADDRESS- Koshy’s Parade Cafe, No. 39, St Marks Road, Shanthala Nagar, Ashok Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560001 LOCATION TAG- https://goo.gl/maps/N8rjbD3qRNwwdu8x8 SUPPORT FOOD LOVERS If you enjoyed this video, please consider supporting Food Lovers TV.

#Breakfast #KoshysParadeCafe #GourmetOnTheRoad Koshy’s is a landmark establishment in Bengaluru that has been around since the 1950s, popular for its old world charm and vintage decor. In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, Food Lovers’ Editor Kripal Amanna, meets with Mr. Prem Koshy, third generation co-owner of this hallowed institution to discover its surprisingly humble origins. He savours some of the most popular breakfast items from their expansive menu, including the homemade Baked Beans on Toast, Chicken Liver on Toast, Club Sandwich and of course, their signature Appam and Stew, a signature dish that is served only on Sunday! GOURMET ON THE ROAD BAKED BEANS ON TOAST Homemade baked beans generously slathered on a thick slice of Koshy’s bread. The earthy flavours of the beans and tangy tomato, make this dish very comforting. Rs. 130 7/10 MUSHROOM ON TOAST A simple dish of mushrooms sauteed in some garlic and pepper, spread over buttered toast. The earthiness of the mushroom is what’s most prominent. A must-try for every mushroom lover. Rs. 130 7.5/10 TOMATO AND CHEESE ON TOAST A beautiful plate popping with contrasting colours of the sauteed tomatoes and cheese. The jammy flavours of the tomatoes are delicious. Acidic and salty flavours, yum! Rs. 130 8/10 VEGETABLE CUTLET An old fashioned cutlet made from a medley of veggies, peas, carrots and potatoes, spiced delicately. There's a certain creaminess that takes over the palate. Rs. 75 8/10 MUTTON CUTLET Hot and crisp to the touch. A delicious mutton cutlet, the crumbed exterior holds that flavourful spiced mutton mince. A textbook mutton cutlet. Old fashioned, like mum would make. Rs.100 9/10 MR. K's BIG EASY ENGLISH BREAKFAST Tawa toast slathered with baked beans and fried sunny side up eggs, crisp, plump pork sausage, fries, and a side of veggies. Layered with flavours, this is definitely an indulgent breakfast. Rs. 450 7.5/10 SPANISH OMELETTE. This old-fashioned omelette is a big, protein-packed meal in itself, especially with the fries. This is a loaded omelette. It's cheesy; it has the meaty bite of the chicken, a salty hit from the bacon, and a crunch from the peppers. Rs.300 9/10 MR K'S GINGER FRUIT PUNCH You can taste an assortment of fruits like papaya, apple, banana, and grape. You get the mellow spike of ginger and its wellness boost. Quite a filling drink. Rs. 75 8/10 CHICKEN LIVER TOAST A must-try dish for liver lovers! There’s very little that gets in the way of the rich deep flavour of the liver. The peppers pick up the flavour. The thick soft bread has absorbed liver gravy. Rs.130 9/10 CLUB SANDWICH Fried egg, slice of ham. roast lamb, chicken, tomatoes, onions, and some lettuce all encased in that soft bread from Koshy's bakery. You get the flavour of the roast meat, the pungent bite of onions. There’s the creaminess of the egg enveloping it. Rs. 190 8.5/10 APPAM AND MUTTON STEW Traditionally only served on a Sunday. The mellow, creamy coconut milk has a hint of whole spices. The meat has soaked in the flavours of the stew but the flavour of the meat itself shines through. Rs.170 10/10 COFFEE Nice and strong with a robust hit. Just the thing you need to pick you up after a big heavy breakfast here.
