Let’s dive into the delicacy inspired by Bihar’s CHAMPARAN CHICKEN. A dish which is cooked in special earthen pots, over open coal fire, with a great combination of Maharashtrian and North Indian flavours. This humble outlet Renuka Chicken Handi House was started by Mr Vikas Vitkar & Mrs Savita Vitkar, who prepare this dish and serve it to the customers all by themselves.

What makes Renuka Chicken Handi special is the homely taste combining 2 different cultures in one dish and the welcoming spirit of the couple, given to their customers. The owner Mr Vikas himself is a caterer and a homecook having an experience of over 30 years.

Started just one month ago, this place has already got everyone around drooling over their Champaran Chicken Handi’s smell and taste. Their unique take on this Champaran Handi is an exquisite blend of spices in which the chicken is marinated for almost 1 hour. This whole mixture of spices and chicken is then sealed inside the pot and slowly cooked on open fire. Which is cooked until the charcoal flavour completely combines with the chicken, giving it a beautiful smoky taste.

On the other hand, Mrs Savita prepares soft and thin Bhakris made from Ragi, Rice Flour, Corn Flour, Millet or Sorghum (as per customer’s choice) which is later served with piping hot Champaran Chicken Handi. Well, rice lovers do not worry as they provide authentic steamed Indrayani Rice with the handi (not included in the dish). To top it off, onion/tomato salad and lemon is served as well in the dish.

One can have the handi in either half portion or full portion. Although customers need to call and inform the owners at least 2 hours prior as the dish takes a while to cook. Not to forget, that this delicacy has the appropriate spiciness level which doesn’t overpower the smoky flavour and bombard our taste buds with new flavour, which will make you visit this place again and again!

Well if now you’ve got yourself drooling and can’t stop thinking about such a unique mix of 2 different cultures delicacies, here is your answer!
