That is rich too wow that is yeah um, that is a nice carrot, complements the whole thing it does yeah. It does, because you've got more flavor. You cannot have more honey wow, that's that is unique.

That is delicious. Okay back to that biryani, it's not too heavy, but it's not too light. Yes and it's like kind of coffee, it's kind of like a medium grain yeah, but fluffy very fluffy, but not dry man, there's just food everywhere. In old daca we've got a mountain of whoa.

I've got a face full of kidney. This is mutton kidney. They call it a kebab, but it's more like a fry of kidney and onions and spices that just simmers down into a sauce. Oh that's a lot of kidney.

Oh, he just massages that in it's soupy, it's turning soupy until that kidney just completely melts all the oil in there, the spices and then moving over to the next window. Kitchen he's frying up some chicken chop and some beef chop, another food that you have to eat when you come to old, daca, all right. So basically it's a chicken cutlet or a beef cutlet which it looks like it's been cut flat so that it can fry easier mixed with a variety of spices. Then shallow, fried in oil until crispy and you price it fast too.

So it's just crispy on the edges. It's gon na remain juicy on the inside. I can't wait to see what kind of spices they've marinated it in and that smells incredible. So this place is really famous for all sorts of kebabs and meats and things okay.

They are exporting in this area. I mean they are also famous in this area uh, so they always fill this type of chops and oily foods, and we got here. We got here at the perfect time because it's kind of like before they're opening so they're, making everything fresh so we're getting to see the process of everything that they're making next he's frying up. The beef boti kebab just wow he just he just poured on a bag full of mountain of onions, just a volcanic flaming pan of beef oil, onions, green chilies.

It smells so good, it's so aromatic, and he just works that in stirring it releasing the juices the oils everything is going to caramelize. So while the beef is still frying, we've stopped here because uncle is making it's called mata mata. We saw him fresh. He arrived here and he got this milk, he squeezed some of the cheese, and he makes a beverage here with a little bit of salt, a little bit of lime juice and some of that fresh buttermilk and he's extremely popular.

He just arrived five minutes ago and all of a sudden he had people coming to him. Wow, that's like drinking cottage cheese; well, that's delicious, so rich and foamy and creamy with that lime juice with that saltiness. Oh hello, recipe cheers cheers! This is good straight up. Like a cheese beverage, but it's heavy and rich at the same time, okay, the beef should be ready.

We're gon na start eating the kebabs, so i think we first start with this one. Okay, this is the beef beef bottle beef boutique, but this is an amazing spread. We got all of their proteins, plus the papaya salad and you eat it, along with the paratha right for sure. Okay with the paratha with the burger okay yeah, we have to start with that that beef boutique that's what we saw him, making the whole process simmering down that beef in that, like volcanic oil, green chilies, onions, wow that melts in your mouth, yeah, the freshness of The green chilies and all those onions in there yeah, onions, they're, so sweet yeah and they've just melted down into the beef all the different masalas in there.

We saw him making this as well brain fry making. Sure you get a piece of green chili in every bite and some of those onions, it's just so creamy and so cheesy with that spice blend and again the green chilies and the onions yeah. It's like everything. Every recipe has green chilies and onions yeah.

That makes it so good, i think the masala they put is a little bit different than the one yeah, maybe a little bit more cinnamon and cardamom in there yeah that really outstanding okay. I cannot wait to try that chicken chop - oh it's so crispy that batter! Oh, this one is hot yeah. I might go in with a fork. It's so crispy, it's so hot! This one came right out of the oil.

They gave us a fresh one and then it's coated in that that masala plus, that that batter a chicken cutlet plus fried chicken all in one yeah with so much more spice and flavor yeah, that's just like crispy. You cannot go back to eating regular, fried chicken. After this yeah, okay, i think i want to. Can we chase that with that the oiliness? I want to change that with some of the papaya salad.

Oh, that is amazing, all the tamarind. So that's shredded green papaya, so it has an amazing crunch to it and then that tamarind makes it so tart and sweet and oniony and the spices in there yeah. Actually, we eat this thing because uh to reset out this one, you know when you have this thing and then you set this back then this one yeah and something you have something rich and then you have something that refreshes your mouth. At the same time, that's really good.

We've got the last thing here, which is the kidney mutton, kidney chili with the jelly wow yeah; okay, oh wow. Okay, that's one of the dishes here that you have to get this is so good. The paste of masalas and onions in there and the aftertaste of it is even bigger. You know when you take the first bite it feels different and when the comes time and the flavor actually develops in your mouth you're right yeah, the flavor keeps building yeah and you got like a little bit of that.

Meaty meaty aftertaste that irony aftertaste from the kidneys yeah, it's all good, all good, but that kidney wow. This is the winner. Oh green, chili, okay, beef top is awesome too. It's very thin.

Yes, it's very thin and then again coated in that batter with all the spices it's cooked yeah.
