Omani INDIAN FOOD in Muscat!! 20 Northern MUGHLAI DISHES in Oman!!

OMAN TRAVEL: https://www.instagram.com/officialomantravels ‍ BEGUM’S: https://www.instagram.com/begumsoman MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG: https://davidsbeenhere.com/ There are few cuisines with a wide-reaching global influence as prominent as Indian food. Trade between Oman and India introduced Indian spices and flavors (including cinnamon, ginger, chilies, coriander, and turmeric) to Oman. Indian cuisine itself is also popular there and I knew I had to try it. Come with me as I enjoy northern Indian food in Muscat, Oman! DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/davids-been-here Mughlai cuisine is a big mix of Northern Indian staples like curries, kebabs, and breads. Begum’s three locations around Oman are the best spots in the country to have some. My guide Mohammed from Oman Travel and I headed into the kitchen to meet the owner, Amit. The chefs were cooking up a storm! They were making chicken tikka biryani, chicken kebabs, marinated in mint chutney, mutton boti biryani, tandoori paneer, mutton seekh kebabs, tandoori mushrooms, butter chicken, and more. They make everything from scratch. Everything looked so good. At our table in the kitchen, we had a massive mixed kebab platter. I loved the mutton seekh kebab with the spicy mint-cilantro chutney. Next was pahadi boti (boneless mutton marinated in mint-cilantro-spinach sauce). It’s really tasty and spicy. The Jalandhari kebab (spicy boneless chicken) was very tasty. I also loved the smoky tandoori chicken, which they marinate for 24 hours! The achaari aloo was spicy and pickled. I loved the soft texture of the mixed veg seekh kebab and the flavors of the different vegetables. The paneer haryali tikka was also smoky and cooked in the tandoor with bell peppers. I loved it with the chutney! We followed that with garlic naan, butter naan, and laccha paratha. We ate them with butter chicken, kundan kaliya (mutton in fried onion paste gravy with green chilies, coriander, and cardamom), and baingan bharta (smoked eggplant mash with garlic and spices).
