The popularity of Halwa Puri in Bradford cannot be denied even after many years have passed. This is

The history of Halwa Puri at
Bradford dates back to 18th century when it was started by a local trader. He
started making fresh chicken bones from oxen and selling it in the market at a
very high price. Later on, he started making traditional Indian meals for his
customers, which were then served at his restaurant. In those days, halwa puri
was not just chicken food.
It also included the likes of rice,
mutton, pigeon and prawns. And the most relished delicacies on offer were the
chicken. At that time, halwa could either be dry or fresh. Today, however, you
can order chicken halwa and it comes in all different varieties. The spices
have been preserved, but the taste remains.
The most important thing to do while
dining at a halwa stand at a restaurant in Bradford is to order it early. The
meat being prepared at these restaurants remains raw for up to an hour. Hence,
the first course should be something to whet your appetite, and this is exactly
what is served at many of these restaurants. You can start off with the chicken
curry. It has a distinct flavor which is mildly spicier than the chicken you
would get in a street car, and of course, it is served with some plain yogurt
and pickled vegetables.
There are many vegetarian dishes
available at these places as well. The most popular vegetarian dish here is the
biryanis (stuffed bird) which is made using biryanis leaves and spices. There
are also many curries and samosas served in halwa style. And of course, the
meat is on offer. From traditional biryanis to chicken or beef, the menu at
these restaurants is extensive and very satisfying.
If you are looking for authentic
Pakistani food, then you are going to have a lot of choice when dining out at a
halwa stand in Bradford. As we said earlier, it is not just a case of frying
food on a stick but instead it is cooked over a fire. Therefore, the
ingredients used are always fresh. As a result, you can be sure that when you
go out for halwa, you are eating food which is not only hot but is also healthy
and nutritious.
If you are looking for something
different, then you should also try some of the Indian and Chinese dishes being
prepared at these restaurants. Of course, you will find plenty to choose from.
From chicken tikka masala to biryanis, you will be spoilt for choice. You can
even order a platter to go with your meal.
