Summary:
Babai Bhojanam, a Telugu delicacy speciality restaurant in Punjagutta, takes the humble and ubiquitous green chilli to make it aspirational by creating a halwa out of it. Says Ramakrishna Achanta, founder-partner of C3 a food venture who oversees the operations of the new outlet, “Food innovation is what our guests love and Green Chilli Halwa is bound to be a hit.” It’s made of green chillies soaked in cold water for a few hours before it is cooked in ghee and sugar, adds Manoj Chandrasekhar, partner. This one is like Lauki Ka Halwa except that leaves a spicy aftertaste in your throat, like a tequila shot. Known for their traditional bhojanam served on a banana leaf, Babai Bhojanam also has delicacies such as Gongura Mirapakaya Bajji with a filling of the ground tangy leafy vegetable and onion garnish. Of course in desserts, the Green Chilli Halwa and if you like classics their chakkara pongali is worth a try..
