When reheating these dishes, I recommend using a low flame or a short microwave burst to allow that natural, rendered fat to liquefy, which brings the meat back to its juicy, melt-in-mouth state. The Bannur lamb is the crown jewel of my kitchen. Unlike the leaner goat meat you find in commercial butcheries, this specific breed is prized for its heavy fat content and marbling. In my 150-year-old family recipes, I don't use a single drop of refined oil. Instead, I slow-cook the meat in its own rendered fat, which creates a viscous, flavour-dense gravy that traditional Naati cuisine is famous for. My signature menu focuses on nose-to-tail eating. You will find dishes like my Khaima Unde Saaru, where I hand-mince the thigh meat and enrich the gravy with bone marrow, creating an earthy, soul-satisfying meal that pairs perfectly with ragi mudde. Then there is the Bannur Mutton Palav—a broth-rich dish cooked with coconut milk and whole spices rather than water, ensuring every grain of rice is packed with essence. I also focus on dry, peppery preparations. My Mutton Chops Pepper Fry is slow-cooked until the meat pulls away from the bone effortlessly, coated in a generous amount of freshly ground organic black pepper. These aren't dishes for those watching their calories—these are for those looking for the real, rugged, and unadulterated flavours of Old Bangalore. I keep my kitchen small and batch-focused to ensure that whether you are ordering a full rack of ribs or a portion of mutton saaru, the quality remains consistent with the standards my ancestors set in Cubbonpete generations ago. ## About Karnivore Kitchen by Kalyan I’m Kalyan, and meat is my religion. I cook Bannur lamb exactly the way my family has for 150 years—nose-to-tail, no oil, just pure, honest flavour. Every dish is a piece of Old Bangalore’s history on your plate.
