21 Gun Salute in Gurgaon, India

Briyani

The local team suggested coming to this place tonight (SCO 35-36 Leisure Valley Road, +91-124-489-8344), an impressively ornate place serving North Indian and Mughlai food. And yes, I enjoyed it, including not just that briyani above, but in particular something called a Rajwadi chaat, which were chunks of fruit (like apple) that were slathered in a spicy chili sauce and then grilled in a tandoor, Rajasthani-style. It kinda reminded me of Mexican coctel de fruta except that it was served warm from the oven with a nice smoky aroma. I was also quite a fan of a bread pudding-like dessert called shahi tukda, where bread is soaked in milk and then fried with saffron. Yum!
