Tasting BHEEMA'S Most Popular ANDHRA VEG MEALS | MUTTON BIRYANI | Chilli Chicken | KITCHEN TOUR!

#AndhraCuisine #RestaurantsInBangalore #GourmetOnTheRoad
Best Restaurant For An Andhra Meal In Bangalore. Andhra Restaurants In Bangalore. Andhra Style Biryani. Andhra Meals.
A popular name when it comes to Andhra cuisine in Bengaluru is Bheema's, an iconic restaurant located in the heart of CBD, at Church Street. Although the street has witnessed a resurgence over the years, this over 20-year-old establishment has stood still, turning into a favourite spot for lunch, when in the area.
The simple yet satisfying vegetarian Andhra meal served on a plantain leaf and the Nellore-style Biryani is what patrons usually flock to the restaurant for, not forgetting their signature side, the Bheema's Chicken!
In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, Food Lovers' Editor, Kripal Amanna visits the restaurant after a decade to revive memories of a meal here. He meets with second generation owner, Vijaykumar and explores the kitchen. He discover the evolution in the method of cooking traditional Andhra fare Bheema's has adopted and also visits the restaurants' nursery!
He then sits down to indulge in the vegetarian meals with oodles of ghee and gongura chutney, moving on to taste the Mutton Biryani and some delicious meaty sides.
GOURMET ON THE ROAD RATING
VEG MEALS
a popular lunch choice at bheema’s, the veg meal comprises of a pappu, a vegetable of the day, sambar, rasam, perugu, buttermilk and dessert, usually a payasam. my top picks were the deliciously creamy spinach pappu, the flavourful sambar. the moolangi chutney was not as vibrant or vivacious as the gongura chutney. don’t forget to top your piping hot rice with ghee and the signature podi before you work your way through the dishes!

8.5/10
CHILLI CHICKEN
although this chilli chicken has an incredible amount of chilli seeds, it doesn’t hit you right away when you first taste it. but as you devour the dish, the green chilli spice makes its presence felt on the palate. the chicken is moist and juicy. eat this dish with rice and oodles of ghee to help tame the chilli aggression.
rs 260. (3.65 usd)
8.5/10
BHEEMA'S CHICKEN
this fried chicken preparation is a bheema’s signature. the chicken is coated and fried in a light batter and tossed in a masala which makes liberal use of green chilli and curry leaves. this fried chicken is cooked perfectly, crunchy and dry outside yet soft and juicy within. the curry leaves lends a toasty, herbaceous note to the dish.
rs 270. (3.80 usd)
9/10
MUTTON BIRYANI
this biryani is gentle in its aromas, not a biryani you can smell from a mile away. the rice is cooked in the flavourful mutton broth that has given up all its meaty flavour to the supremely flavoursome rice. you can also taste the whole spices like cloves, cinnamon and star anise. the meat is cooked to a juicy, tender pink.
rs 285. (4 usd)
8.5/10
MUTTON PEPPER FRY
the meat is the star in this mutton pepper fry. it is slow cooked and braised for hours resulting in that tender, melt-in-the-mouth texture. the flesh is pink all the way through and the fat too has rendered well. the pepper does not obliterate the flavour of the mutton. the curry leaves provide a nice respite in between tasting. the flavour of the meat and spices have come together beautifully in this dish!

When I went to Mysore for a trip there every restaurant has items called Nati chicken, Nati mutton curry first I didn't understand I thought they were special dishes from Karnataka, later I was realized Nati means Natu in Rayalaseema, they mixed it with kannada food, I love kannada food and hospitality they are very nice and humble people.

[@amarreddy3729]

Being an andhrite i found best andhra meals at nagarjuna and RRR mysore. Gun powder and ghee(popular with my north indian friends too) isnt a real andhra style except for vysya community.i tried ghee and avakaya in subbaiah gari hotel hyderabad and understood the real taste.That was the real starter..

[@ashagowda9326]

I just miss the veg andhra meals near my office. It was an accident where our team went for lunch & everyone ordered chicken biriyani etc while our veg team mate ordered andhra meals. South meals we have daily at home but The way the food was Served in a plate with leaf ,we cancelled the non veg and ordered andhra meals. Seriously the taste and varities of curries and the rice and pudi with ghee.. we started having every noon even though it was 93rs per meals.hmm i just miss it..

Nala was an great cook . The story comes in nala danayanthi . Nalapaka is an ultimate tribute to an great meal. I had lunch last December in bheemas . Feels like a lifetime ago. Surprised that they grow their own vegetables giving organic food a new meaning. And making spices with traditional flour mill is so refreshing. And cooking with precision using oven makes it so beautiful. Seems like a lifetime ago I had visited this place. Great memories 👌
