I was at Umerkot this tuesday and I also happened to read the reviews in this blog about Umerkot. I have been working in kitchen at various 5 star hotels since the last 17 years.
I tasted a few kebabs and also tasted the Biryani, but the Lamb Biryani.
A Biryani by muslim culinary tradition is made with mutton....... I wonder why a few critics try their gourmet skills by tasting chicken biryani ( maybe they have redifined the definition after attaining inspirations from the modern age concoctions).
I tried the Murg Ki Chaap and Gosht Laccha Kebab for starters.......... trust me, they were awesome. The kebabs were juicy, no hint of any colour and each of the kebabs had an distinctive individualistic taste.
The Biryani was unbelievable. The style was very Delhi type, a fusion of Lukhnavi and Hyderabadi. The meat was definitely cooked with the rice, as similiar tastes flowed through.
There are close to 47 styles of preparing a biryani and I wonder how one can have a single image of the same in ones mind.
Awareness and knowledge is very important before comments are passed, else they do not get taken seriously.
