Bhavana Challu Pratap
Bhavana Challu Pratap
Kashmir, the northern most state of India, is very famously called the "Switzerland of India". A Mughal Emperor once said about Kashmir “Gar firdaus, ruhe zamin ast, hamin asto, hamin asto, hami asto”, which means “If there is a heaven on earth, it’s here, it’s here, it’s here”.Along with exquisite beauty, the food from Kashmir is an awakening of all the senses. Mutton is the main ingredient of Kashmir traditional cuisine, and everything is prepared without ginger, garlic, onions or tomatoes. Spices used include dry ginger powder, fennel seed powder, asafoetida, and Kashmiri red chili powder. Those of you, who are born there, would remember the taste of nyenya batta (mutton and rice) that your mom would feed you while you were playing in the snow, or picknicking in the Nishat Bagh. The salle batte thal (wedding delicacies) with crispy kabargah (crispy fried mutton ribs) and pullav (Rice delicasy), wazul (red) roganjosh (mutton curry), nyenye yakhin (mutton yakhni in yogurt curry), haak nadur (greens with lotus root) and, last but not the least, dumollu (Whole Potatoes fried and cooked in red curry).
Rated 4.0 With websites offering chef prepared meal delivery services, the Bay Area is experiencing a sudden surge in regional Indian cuisine- going much beyond what you might find in a typical restaurant (the tikka masalas and the tandoori what-nots). I encourage those looking to expand their palate to give Bhavana's Kashmiri food a taste. It's vastly different from Indian food you may have tried thus far. Rich, deeply flavorful meats take center stage alongside sumptuous vegetables, all cooked in spices specially flown in from Kashmir. She also offers a large variety of finger foods: perfect for a large gathering. Good luck and a shoutout to this local business.
Rated 5.0 We had Bhavna cater to our party for over 50 people. What a spread. Right from Nadur monj to the Roganjosh to yakhni and the dumaloo to maunj haak and chaman was outstanding. The dishes were cooked to flavor in the most traditional Kashmiri way. My father in law who has very strong Kashmiri tastes cannot stop talking about how the food tasted traditional, authentic & Kashmiri in every way. Thanks Bhavna for preserving the taste of Kashmiri food as part of our cultural heritage
Rated 5.0 Feeling Happy!! Thank you Bhavana, I always wished that if we ever find some one who one can really do justice to our authentic real kashmiri food, the richness and the taste. We finally found one. Thank you Bhavana for being pleasant and patient and professinal. The food was so delicious. The doorbell rang exactly delivery time given by you. Wish you all the best. I am going to take break now from cooking kashmiri food for a while.
Rated 4.0 I ordered for a company dinner, after a long Sunday session and Dinner was amazing! Rave reviews all around. I don't really even like prawns, yet I couldn't stop eating these. I was fortunate enough to take home some leftovers to share with my family. The girls and I had delicious for breakfast. My 7 year old took a little yogurt with hers for spice, and my 10 year old enthusiastically ate eggplant (not usually her favorite) and they both loved everything
