I use recipes passed down from my grandfather, a freedom fighter, cooked the same way they did back in the 1890s. Every spoonful brings back memories of the old Karavali (coastal Karnataka) and the spirit of a place called Thuppangadi, now lost to time. ### What Makes Thuppangadi Biriyani Special Our biriyani is like a traditional ghee pulav, but with a twist. It’s not your regular Donne Biriyani – here, coastal Karnataka biriyani comes alive with: - Sharp aroma from our local, hand-sourced thuppa (ghee) - Strong hit of pepper and green chilies - Special Kundapur spice mix that’s bold but balanced Some folks say the pepper and green chili biriyani packs a punch, and it’s true – it’s spicy, hearty, and rich. ### Real Ingredients, No Shortcuts I travel myself to get authentic ghee from the coast. All spices are local, and the biriyani is cooked fresh for every order. ### Choices & Sides Pick chicken or egg. Both come with salan, raita, and salad. Everything’s packed carefully for takeaway or delivery, plus I drop a little handwritten note with each meal – it’s my way of saying thanks for sharing in the legacy. ## Highlights Browse through Babakull's Cook House's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/babakulls/thuppangadi-biriyani/featured) - ![This is the kind of feast I love to prepare, a spread that brings people together.

My grandpa’s recipes, straight from the days before 1947, fill our kitchen. He wasn’t a chef, he was a freedom fighter. Every dish, especially our Thuppangadi biriyani, is a slice of history – not just food. I travel around for the right thuppa (ghee), because keeping it real matters. Our logo says 'Since 1947' for a reason. For me, this is legacy, not just cooking. ### My work - **Our Menu**: We serve Thuppangadi biriyani, B'luru kebabs, Kundapur Ghee Roast rolls, parathas, and Shavige Payasa. - **Thuppangadi Biriyani**: Ghee-laced pulav, made with Karavali ghee. The recipe’s roots go back a century. - **Real Flavours, No Shortcuts**: Masalas are all special. Old Bombay Irani garam masala, Kundapuri spices, every bite tells a story. - **Veg Options Too**: Channa Zaika vegetarian roll, Indian Veg Curry roll, all with the same historic touch. ## More services from Babakull's Cook House - [Chicken Kebabs & Starters](https://mytribe.in/babakulls/chicken-kebabs-starters) · ₹150-250 per portion (estimate) - [Rolls & Wraps](https://mytribe.in/babakulls/rolls-wraps) · ₹120-220 per roll (estimate) ## Experts similar to Babakull's Cook House on mytribe - [Food Delivery & Meal Kits by Muneer's MK Caterers](https://mytribe.in/mkcaterers/food-delivery-meal-kits) · ₹700-1,200 per box/kit (estimate) · Muneer's M K Caterers - [Full-Service Event Catering by Basheer's Classic Caterers](https://mytribe.in/basheersclassiccaterers/full-service-event-catering) · ₹700-2,000 per plate (estimate) · BASHEER'S CLASSIC CATERERS - [Homemade Andhra & Hyderabadi Meal Delivery by Anu's Kitchen](https://mytribe.in/anukitchen_bengaluru/homemade-andhra-hyderabadi-meal-delivery) · ₹100-300 per meal box (estimate) · Alfa Gardens - [Biryani Delivery by Mojo Kitchen](https://mytribe.in/mojokitchenblr/biryani-delivery) · ₹170-270 per regular portion (500ml/half kg) (estimate) · Indiranagar - [North Indian Food by Rushi Foods](https://mytribe.in/rushifoods112020/north-indian-food) · ₹150-350 per meal box/thali (estimate) · J.
