It is a slow, old-school process that gives the meat a rich, viscous texture and a depth of flavour you will not find in modern commercial kitchens. If you are ordering for the first time, the Khaima Unde Saaru is the best place to start to understand what I mean by honest, no-frills food. ### My Philosophy: What is 'Naati'? In Kannada, ‘Naati’ simply means hyper-local. My kitchen at Karnivore Kitchen is built on this foundation. I do not believe in fancy plating or hiding the quality of the meat under heavy spices. My recipes are a confluence of Andhra, Tamil, Maharashtrian, and Karnataka cultures—flavours that have been passed down through my family for over 150 years in Cubbonpete. ### The Bannur Lamb Difference The heart of my kitchen is the Bannur lamb. It is a specific breed known for its fat content and tenderness. Because I cook using the animal's own fat, you get a clean, intense meaty flavour. You will find that my gravies, like the Khaima Unde Saaru (minced lamb meatballs), do not sit heavy on the stomach because they are free of industrial oils. ### How to Order I cook everything in small, fresh batches from my home kitchen. This is not a restaurant supply chain, so the flavour profile is consistent and personal. I deliver across Bangalore, but please plan your orders in advance as I do not keep pre-cooked stocks sitting on a shelf. Whether you are looking for traditional mutton curries, spicy pork ribs, or the earthy taste of organ pepper fry, everything is prepared with the same respect for the ingredients. If you have any questions about the heat levels or preparation styles, reach out directly before you place your order. ## About Karnivore Kitchen by Kalyan I am Kalyan.
