As I was really hungry after class, I decided to pop by at Shami a little after lunch time to get a take away. I opted for the vegetarian biryani - which to my knowledge is one of the best a foodcourt can offer. This would definitely costs much more at restaurants. The rice was very fragrant and if you were lucky, you'd be able to spot quite a number of raisins and cashew nuts which makes the dish even more fragrant and appetizing.For sides, I ordered my must have soya bean (chunks of soya mock
For sides, I ordered my must have soya bean (chunks of soya mock meat marinated in a delicious spicy sauce), curried potatoes and stir fried french beans. All the sides were really yummy!
For starters, the soya mock meat was very tender at the same time, it tasted really nice and chewy. There is a certain method of cooking soya and when its not cooked right, it can tastes really dry and blunt. This, however, was well done.
The curried potatoes were very soft and was pretty much identical to potato masala. Apart from potatoes, the dish constituted of carrots as well which made it taste sweet and a little spicy as the same time.
The french beans is also one of my favorites as its always so crunchy! It is not spicy but the spices entice the dish and its always filled with flavor.
Each set meal is served with sambar (which is like dahl/lentil curry and vegetables) as well as Rasam (which is a spicy soup and great for people with a cough or flu). Yoghurt can also be purchased at an additional dollar to go with the meal - This is something that indians do alot especially when eating spicy food as it cools the body and definitely helps when eating spicy food.
I decided to get additional rice which was priced at $1 to share with the rest of the family.
Their side of Tofu Sambal is really good aswell!
