#ShivajiMilitaryHotel #DonneBiryani #GourmetOnTheRoad Bengaluru's most popular Shivaji Military Hotel, Chicken Donne Biryani, Mutton Donne Biryani, Breakfast, Bengaluru's Top Restaurants, Biryani What begins as a visit by Food Lovers’ Editor, Kripal Amanna, to check out this iconic restaurant’s breakfast soon turns into a never-seen-before-on-video demonstration on the making of Bengaluru’s most famous chicken biryani, the Donne Biryani at Shivaji Military Hotel, a restaurant that has stood tall for over eight decades for its local-influenced Maratha fare. Needless to say, he also catches a full military-style breakfast that includes a nourishing paaya soup, chicken leg masala, chops, mutton liver, khaali dose and steaming hot donne biryani. Lunch at Shivaji Military Hotel video - https://youtu.be/XxatALJz0Ro Leg Soup The gelatine has rendered well into the broth and glistens on the surface, you taste the flavour of the fat in the broth and the spicing too, especially the green chilli. The trotter is the sort that melts in your mouth. Rs. 160 (usd 2.2) for 2 legs. 8.5/10 Chicken Chops A rich, spicy green masala of coriander, mint and onions, studded with green peas. The juicy chicken pieces tame the salty savoury punch of the gravy. The khali dose makes for the perfect companion to taste the chicken chops masala. Rs. 190 (usd 2.6) 9/10 Chicken Leg Piece Plump chicken legs cooked nice and juicy down to the bone. Definitely not a dish for the faint-hearted, you can taste the searing heat of the red chilli powder in this gravy. The onions, tomatoes and lime provide a mildly sweet-tart counterpoint to the chilli heat though. Rs. 160 (usd 2.2) for 2 pieces. 8.5/10 Mutton Liver The mutton liver is cooked to perfection in a green masala, has a springy bite and is soft and creamy inside. Absolutely delicious, the intense earthiness of the liver goes well with the salty savouriness of the gravy. Rs. 150 (usd 2.1) 10/10 Mutton Dry The fat bits in the meat pieces add flavour. I tasted this piping hot off the stove, but I wish the meat had rested in the masala for a bit post cooking for me to better savour this peppery preparation. Rs. 190 (usd 2.6) 8/10 Chicken Donne Biryani You can taste the ingredients that have gone into Shivaji Military Hotel’s iconic donne biryani the moment you place the intensely flavourful rice in your mouth. The sweetness of the spices, the star anise, the mild astringency of the cloves, the fresh bite of the herbs, the pointed pungency from the green chillies, the tartness of tomato and the lime. The ghee coats the rice with a film of lushness, you can smell the smokiness from the dum. The chicken is delicate in its flavour, and not as effusive. Savour it with the rice to enjoy the complete range of flavours in this dish.

#donnebiryani #lunch #bengaluru popular biryani restaurant, donne biryani, shivaji military hotel, popular biryani, mutton biryani, chicken biryani, mutton dry, chilli chicken, kaal soup, mutton liver, jayanagar, banashankari, bangalore, bengaluru When Bengaluru emerged from lockdown months ago, Lokesh and Rajiv, the brothers behind Shivaji Military Hotel took a conscious decision to not reopen dine-in until the situation got better. This meant foregoing a substantial chunk of revenues and relying on takeaway business only, but this was something they were prepared to live with, for the safety of their customers and staff. So when they reopened the eatery to customers a couple of weeks ago, we lost no time in getting there to savour their hugely popular donne biryani and also report on the current experience at this 90-year old culinary institution that has a reputation for being jam packed with customers. We arrived to find certain measures in place, even though in precarious danger of being overrun by its patrons. Thankfully though, the taste of the donne biryani hasn't wavered a bit from the time we tasted it last nearly a year ago. Hope you enjoy this episode, stay safe and happy eating! Kaal Soup A warming, gently-spiced mutton bone broth, the trotters are cleaned well and cooked to melt-in-the-mouth texture. Rs. 180 (usd 2.4) 8.5/10 Chicken Donne Biryani The biryani is served steaming hot and is impressionable in its persistent aroma and spicy, flavourful fervour laced with green chilli heat. We tasted the donne biryani in takeaway mode where it is packed in foil, but it's not quite the same as when it is ladled onto a donne, a container fashioned of leaves. Rs. 200 (usd 2.7) 9/10 Mutton Donne Biryani The biryani has a slightly smokey tone, and the spices imbued with the weight of the fat and the character of the meat, is rounded in its flavour as opposed to the chicken biryani. The meat is juicy and has absorbed the flavour of the masala rather well. This is the textbook donne biryani, served by this revered culinary institution for the last nine decades. Rs. 260 (usd 3.5) 10/10 Chilli Chicken The chicken is moist, bathed in a green chilli gravy, this is certainly not a dish for the faint-hearted. Rs. 180 (2.4) 8.5/10 Mutton Pepper Dry Tender meat braised in a deep roasted masala with plenty of pepper. Rs. 230 (usd 3.1) 9/10 Mutton Liver Fry The liver has a bit of a bite, its deep flavours juxtapose delightfully against the contrasting freshness of coriander and mint in the green masala. Rs. 160 (usd 2.2) 8.5/10 Kripal Amanna, Gourmet On The Road, Food Lovers TV TIMINGS: 10am to 4pm Note: please call ahead to verify timings and dish availability on account of the current situation; closed on Mondays.
