Galawat Kebab has a rich history, dating back to the 18th century.
Dishoom has launched some delicious new menu additions exclusively for its Birmingham restaurant.
Situated in Chamberlain Square, Dishoom connects the trade roots of Bombay and Birmingham in its design.
The eatery serves a lovingly curated menu, including Chicken Ruby and Vada Pau.
Dishoom Birmingham now has some new menu specials, available from March 4 to April 18.
These new dishes are inspired by the incredible area of Mohammed Ali Road in Bombay.
Renowned for its vibrant street food scene, it is an annual destination on Dishoom’s Bombay Bootcamp, which is the trip for staff who have worked at Dishoom for at least five years.
The chefs wish to bring some of Mohammed Ali Road’s heart and soul to Birmingham and have created new dishes inspired by some of the food you might try while wandering its lanes.
A delicious dish on offer is the Galawat Kebab, which is smoky lamb served with saffron paratha.
Galawat Kebab has a rich history, dating back to the 18th century.
Invented by the Nawab of Awadh, it has since spread all over India and you can find some of the best at Mohammed Ali Road.
Baida Roti is a great side option.
It is soft chapati stuffed with chicken and egg before being fried until golden.
Baida Roti is believed to have been invented in the winding lanes of Mohammed Ali Road and no menu inspired by the area would be complete without it.
A regal addition between March 4 and April 18 is Nalli Nihari.
It is a slow-cooked lamb shank served in a velvety smooth gravy.
As is common with most of the restaurants in Mohammed Ali Road, the food is unabashedly meaty.
Dishoom Birmingham has also curated Mawa Jalebi to provide a sweet ending to your meal.
Mawa Jalebi is an indulgent version of the traditional jalebi.
But instead of being made with flour, this version is made with mawa (curd).
The jalebis of Mohammed Ali Road take on a deep chestnut-brown colour, rather than the vibrant orange normally associated with this sweet treat.
Mohammed Ali Road is crowded most of the time, but the hungry people who descend during Ramadan fill it past bursting.
There are people everywhere, intently focused on eating after a long day of fasting and prayer.
People cluster in tight groups around the food stalls, which are all turning out dishes with haste. There are stalls selling brightly coloured everything.
In the midst of the melee, plucky men on rickety bicycles steer their way through the densely packed bodies without falling off.
When he was working in Bombay, Dishoom Chef Naved Nasir loved visiting Mohammed Ali Road to break his fast.
And some of these popular dishes have now been brought to Dishoom Birmingham to give diners an authentic taste of this area.
