Anyone for saas-ni-machhi?
If I am thinking Poona, I need to think the two restaurants Dorabjee's and King's. King's on East Street was really hard to find, but my dedicated desire to scoop caramel custard in mouthfuls like a prehistoric maniac drove me up the narrow stairway to a room with low ceiling. That was it, King's. In a mad dash, I asked the cash desk attendant about Caramel Custard and his affirmative answer glued a permanent hysteric smile on my lips. In the next few hours, I started with chicken Farchas, before indulging in Patrani Macchi, Zereshk Pulao and of course Caramel Custard.
The very next day happened to be a Sunday, and I strolled the Dastur Meher Road with its full-fledged Parsee colony. Now I was a regular shopper at the Dorabjee's departmental store on Modelina Road.
The other Dorabjee's, a Parsee restaurant on Dastur Meher Road was my hunt. Not exactly, but the Dhansak I would say, was. And what a Sunday Dhansak it was! To top it, I had three pieces of Caramel Custard sliced from the bake dish that had a thick coat of soot from previous visits to the oven. I am missing Parsee food in Bangalore.
