Tigers Experience at Changezi Karol Bagh





Certain things in life you can only enjoy when you are Half a bottle of Old Monk Down LOL. About Changezi managed and run by a young boy M Waqas Qureshi (someone was saying he is the cousin of the famous actress,which adds more flavor to the eyes of an drunk man LOL ,anyways ). Located in the right hand corner of a junction of the main rohtak road ... next to it is Prem Dhaba his competitor .... why im mentioning this is because they have got into a Building grabbing spree .. so each one of them own every alternate building and the ground floor is a dining hall .. its crazy the war, they have 5 dinning halls each , good for us . Each dinning hall is loaded with an army of waiters who know exactly how to handle drunk dudes like us .
We went on a Wednesday night and man was it crowded with like minded people .. over crowded with drunk blown swaggering men - just loved it because we were the same lol . 
The corner of the street  is where the food is cooked in a open kitchen like pics below . food is served in any of the dinning halls you wish to sit and Hot . 


A typical Changezi Meal - Changezi Chicken , Khameeri Roti and Mutton Qorma and Pyaaz in Abundance with their secret masala and nimboo

Everything here is served Full Plate , Half Plate and some Qtr Plate and yes extra gravy .


The Two Kormas very well made - Chicken was cooked in refined oil and the mutton Korma in Desi Ghee . Good to go dip dip - actually they were served towards the end of the meal after we had killed ourselves with layers and layer of butter - so just dipped  once to get the flavor - will go back for it no problem .

This is the devil amongst the butter floating dishes - in punjabi we say doobo doobo ke khao yes dip dip soak and then eat - this roti does the magic. Khameeri Roti has been specially designed for lethal food like this .. and trust me you wil not be able to enjoy these dishes with a normal tandoori roti or the regular naan. Slit the roti into halves soak and eat . Thats the rhythm to have to keep at Changezi .




Paneer tikka Masala - sorry about the bad pic - yummy spicy chat pata masala ; what a waste of time to go to changezi and eat paneer ..no way jump straight to the meats . A veggy friend had no choice lol but to order this horrifying dish in a meat lovers paradise .


Changezi Fish - actually dont know what it was called but was well made .. Big chunks of fish in in Khada masala and yet again floating in butter .. hahahahha. Not a fish lover but reallyenjoyed this soft buttery fish with no smell .




Changezi Fish

Chicken Afghani - have to get to the root of this dish - what is served here is butter , chicken marinated in plain yogurt and cream , perfectly bar b q'd just enuf to cook the meat thats it - obviously delicious with butter floating around instead of a regular gravy .






Fish Fry - the most popular dish in the west of delhi - and you can only eat it garam garam , cant get it home for sure .. just doesnt taste the same . All thse fishy joints have their secret masala which they are so so possessive about , even if they tell u something would be missing for sure .




Changezi Chicken being made on a tawa which is atleast 3 inches thick , just keeps boiling and over flowing  .The recipe for this chicken is believed to have originated during the times of the fearsome 13th century Mongolian warrior, Genghis Khan. Folk-tales have it — Like all rulers, Genghis Khan was particular about food and apparently didn't like his food very spicy. He is believed to have been presented with a special recipe to suit his taste by one of his chefs, who wanted to receive his appreciation. The chicken was especially prepared in milk and cream instead of plain water. It must have been a hit to prosper through the years.

The Changezi chicken tawa was delightful to look at ....  deliciously awesome  - wudn attempt diving into it tho . I am assuming here , they must be doling out atleast 250 chickens per day for sure , marinated properly ,lightly bar b qd , cooked in the rich gravy  - Cream , Kaju paste  main contents of a traditional Changezi Chicken .


now is that spil over ghee or fat not sure lol
