Fed up with labour problems in his vegetarian eatery of 35 years, Krishnappa Gowda closed doors 10 years ago to open a shop selling fried chicken, cooked by him to a secret recipe influenced by his Mandya roots. Such is the tantalising taste of this chicken kebab, that its fans drive across the city to stand and eat at this eatery located in a nook of Mysore road! An astute entrepreneur, and mindful of the popularity of his spice mix, Gowda has also developed packaged versions of the masala for those who would like to satisfy their fried chicken cravings at home. I make the trek to GFC and return convinced that this is perhaps the best local fried chicken I have tasted to date. Hope you enjoy this episode, take care and stay safe.
Gowda’s Fried Chicken
Tender chicken, marinated for six hours in an aromatic, secret spice mix, Gowda’s Fried Chicken is the sort that is tantalisingly tasty. The masala serves to coat the kebab with a delicately spiced crust and seal its juicy bite; the chicken is cooked perfectly down to the bone. This is the sort of kebab that needs no accompaniment in the form of a chutney or onions.
Rs. 480 per kilo (usd 6.5)

Chicken 65
A tasty kebab in itself, slightly spicier when compared to the GFC. The masala has formed a bit of a thick crust in parts as the chicken is fried, which lends a spicy kick. And then there are those parts where it is the juiciness of the bird that gushes through the palate.

Mutton Biryani
The biryani here, made of basmati and kollam rice is served in a sumptuous portion, and is rich in the flavour of the masala when hot. Some pieces of the meat are soft and slide off the bone, and ribboned in rich fat, yet others with a bit of bite. As the biryani cools down, the savoury fat-laden flavour of the meat takes over.
Rs. 180 (usd 2.4)
