If you want to munch your way to a higher plane of consciousness, then you’ve come to the right place. So I was trotting around the mean streets of downtown Lucknow, trying to find myself some mighty swadisht Indian street food. I came across this place called Mubeen’s and it didn’t take me long to realize that these kebab maestros were cooking up a storm. Now, I didn’t know what the master plan was at this Mubeen’s but I could see that there was a serious hive of activity going down and truth be told I liked it a lot … in fact, come to think of it, I liked it a real lot. So after taking a moment to watch those maestros expertly cooking away, I decided I bet be getting myself a little chow. I mean hey, what else is a man to do? I was feeling pretty famished and dang near at the point of starvation over here. Just walking around those mean streets of Lucknow, I could literally feel the life force draining away from my body. I guess what I’m trying to communicate over here is this was a life or death situation. If I didn’t take myself a big bite of calorically dense foods ASAP, I might have just keeled over right then and there. So I ripped myself off a piece of that Lucknowi sheermal and started admiring the subtle greasy glisten to it. Next up, I started ripping off a piece of that pasanda kebab. And wow, just wow, take a look at that unassuming chunk of meat. Seems like just the food I’ve been searching for in my life, so I animalistically shoved it down my throat. And woah woah woah baby, hold the phone. It’s tasting firm yet succulent with a subtle sweetness and a white peppery bite. On top of that, it’s tasting pretty citrusy from that lime I squeezed on top and I figured I might as well amp up the flavor a bit by dipping in some pudina. Reason being, because I’m worth it. So after admiring that majestic meat for but a moment, I took myself a mighty big bite of that mofo. And oh my Awadhi, holy Nawabi, that right there was a life-enhancing bite. Supposedly they actually ground up raw papaya and put that pulp into the pasanda kabab mix, and although I can’t taste it per se, I do taste some unidentifiable subtle sweetness so I guess that could be it. Now as for that sheermal bread itself, it tastes pretty different from the one I tried in Old Delhi. The one I had in Delhi was thick, hard, and sweet whereas is light, flaky, and not sweet. But either way, both the Delhi and Lucknow varieties have a subtle saffron flavor to them and if that ain’t food for though, then I don’t know what is. So with all that taken into account, I think I’d have to rate this dish a 4 out of 5 Narendra Modis. After all, this mighty fine meat was edible and incredible, but compared to the Raheem’s and Tunday Kababi I’ve already had it just did not make quite the cut to the upper echelons of Lucknowi meat. At least, that’s my opinion. Nevertheless, that meat did soothe my soul and touch my heart in unidentifiable ways. Anyway, after finishing off that meat I thought I’d be sated for the night but apparently I was wrong, apparently I was dead wrong. Somehow, someway that Mubeens’ meat awakened a hunger deep within my soul and I was actually feeling more hungry. So I asked the street food maestro to cook me up a batch of chilli potatoes and he was more than happy to oblige. First that maestro cooked up some potatoes like a buckwild boss, then he started cooking up some vegetable action. With each passing stir of the vegetables, he seemed to be infusing that food with a little tender loving care and I could have sworn that maestro had my best interests at heart ...
