75-Year-Old Secret Home Palav In Mysuru | Ajji Palav, Nazarbad 👵🍛
Tucked deep within the quiet bylanes of Nazarbad in Mysuru lies a culinary legacy that has quietly thrived for over 75 years. This is the story of Ajji Palav, a secret home-style tradition that began in the kitchen of Mrs. Nagamma and is carried forward today by three generations of her family. 🏠✨
In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, we climb the stairs of a modest home to experience a rare kind of dining. Here, footwear is removed at the door, and diners sit communally on the floor or on simple stools, waiting for leaf plates (patravalis) to be filled with comforting, aromatic food. 🍃👣
We meet the soft-spoken Mrs. Saraswathy, the family matriarch who has been cooking here for over 50 years. Aided by her son Ramesh and grandson Nitin, she serves up a limited but deeply satisfying menu of chicken palav, mutton palav, simple homestyle chicken chops in green masala, and a rich khaima curry. This isn’t commercial biryani; it is the pure soul of a home-cooked meal that few outsiders know about. 🍗🌾
Join us as we taste the history, texture, and quiet dedication behind Mysuru’s ultimate hidden home kitchen. 🥄👵

Nice episode. I think you have not visited UPAHAARA DARSHINI in DVG ROAD BASAVANAGUDI. It is first ever of darshini concept.
Try to visit once.
Deliberately chooses non veg to promote

Mysore Mutton Palav!😋❤
Dear Krip, please send me the recipe of ur humbleness.
Kripal, Your final comment, is worth emulating.
I will certainly learn humility from you,
God Bless you and your family.
Hello Kripal. Have been following you since day one. I enjoyed all the episodes but of late, as mentioned earlier as well you are trying to cut short with background voice. I feel you should revert back to old style. Have mentioned this multiple times. Lacks old charm. Pls get back to old style. Otherwise you will lose ardent followers
👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️

Your video makes their customer base higher due to which they degrade their taste quality quantity

Krupal, your videos are a guide to me in Bangalore and Mangalore, and a few places you visit. I just happened to notice the maturity of videos and content growing. Of course, the grip in Kannada.
