Cotton like


Biryani with any meat is always good, let it be with chicken, mutton, beef or sea foods. But mutton biryani is more flavourful compare to other meats. To me, there are best and worst part in mutton biryani, the worst part is, when the meat is not cooked/raw and the best part is, when the meat is cooked to soft, tender and cotton like consistency.Yes, cotton like consistency, thats what my chef said in our school fest when preparing Hyderabadi Biryani.Since then i have been trying to taste one such biryani.
Thanks to Amaravishy, after fourteen long months i'm tasting one such biryani at venu's coimbatore. The portion is adequate, more accompaniments, the deep fried meat balls, a kheer after the meal is perfect, a perfect lunch. The mutton in the biryani is soo soft and like my chef said its cotton like. Twice i have been to venu's , only to taste the unique mutton biryani. The more of mutton, dosen't mean that i'm against other meat, i love meat in any cooked form, sometimes when it is overcooked , i'm just tired of chewing, but that is what you suppose to do when it is overcooked.( get tired/ keep chewing)

All the meats looks good , when its in the dining table. But in real - a wild boar, a mongoose , a frog? how many will imagine all these? but whenever i see a deer , a rich - red , delicious gravy comes to my mind, thats how i tasted my first game dish. Not very often we get a chance to eat game, when a chance arise, don't stop and don't miss to grab some. from the frog meat, which i tasted in goa to the liver and blood porial in madurai, all meat is good and delicious. When it is cooked to correct consitency and and cotton like, its more good and more delicious.
