Kitchen off kuchipudi is another venture from the gang of ulavacharu and weekends at kuchipudi AKA WAK. The location is quite convenient to the IT crowd of Hi tech city, behind in orbit mall road, towards madhapur.
I was invited for the tasting session of the forthcoming menu along with few other members of the foodies group. we were comforted with a start up, payasam, It was simmered in milk with semiya with sugar and no dry fruits are observed. The taste was average.
The session was carried out in a special room which is made from the bamboo sticks and the enclosed room with Air conditioning room, will make you feel away from the outside world and with the pics of food around you will make you feel even more hungry.
The new menu consisted of items from different parts of Andhra, Telangana, rayalaseema and even northern states are also covered. Most of the items are starters and rice items. The names are very innovative and are covered from the remote areas as mentioned.
Firstly i started with the appetizers and the most of the veg and non veg are served eqaully. My best options are
Subramanyam express
Aaru akulu
chamadumpala vepudu
are my favorites from veg section and
pandu mirchi kodi kebab
Green chilli chicken kebab
tiranga kebab
are my favorites from non veg section.
The subramanyam express is a mix of 4 to 5 veggies( bhindi, aloo, bitter gourd, dondakaya, onion) are deep fried and then coated with some of the home made masala. They are dry and goes well with the rice as a fry. I liked them for their taste and texture.
The aaru akulu is also one of the innovation which is made out of six leafy vegetables namely( Water Amaranth, coriander, malabar night shade, amaranth, mint, curry leaves) and are half cooked with water and then made in a paste, rolling it with the paste. Making it look like a spring roll. It was served with the tomato chutney which was absolute heaven.
Chamadumpa vepudu ( arvi) is a fry which can be had a starter or rice.It was also well cooked with coating of dry masala.
The Pandu mirchi kodi kebab was one of the best starters of the night and the red chili spiciness was well trapped and infused into the chicken which was tender and flavorful .
Green chili chicken kebab was also made the same way the pandu mirchi kebab was done, but the only difference was the green chili. The taste and quality were same.
Tiranga kebab was made with skewers and the veggies flavor was more to the chicken and it was tender at the same time. The coriander flavor was all around with good aroma.
The main course was almost covered with rice dishes. Some of the innovations are
3G Annam( Gundamma gari gongura annam) is a rice blended with the leaves of amabada chutney and then it will be tempered along with some tadka for the flavor. It is served along with the dahi rice, pappu charu annam, papad etc. It is one of the best dishes Kitchen off kuchupudi has come up with and i loved it.
Kheema pappu charu annam , is also a pappu charu annam which is enchanced with the kheema at the time of adding tadka to the pappu charu(dal). The rice and dal were well mixed to proportion to differentiate between the kheema and normal dal. The kheema pappu charu will be good when had with papad and any spicy fry.
Peddamma mamsam pulao, is a pualo made out of mutton. The name is acquired from the famous peddamma goddess. As there is a tradition of giving live goat to the goddess and the dish was prepared with the mutton and rice,...making it a pulao kind. The same is replicated and the result is good.
Mastan kheema annam, is more likely a kind of fried rice which was flavored with the kheema and was suggested to have it with the yellow part of the egg and it was absolutely brilliant. Papad is also suggested along. Its neither spicy or tangy..just regular rice with the flavor.
The service was very quick and apt, minimal regrets for the service and all smiles over the place. Had enjoyed the rice items more than the starters. The innovative dishes which took the swing away made us our evening and would like to make a visit in the near future.
This place is quite suited for big groups and family.
