Food Talks

Chef Ashwani Kumar Singh and Chef Rohit Tokhi along with Awadhi food connoisseur Rajkumari Alka Rani Singh of Pratapgarh has recreated the magic of the indulgent Awadhi cuisine. To strart this culinary experience I went straightaway for starters which consisted of an array of kebabs, tikkas and some signature starters of the establishment.

 

  • Chaat tokri– Quintessential, finger licking lentil dumplings served with white peas, pomegranate & fried betel leaves in potato hash basket.It was indeed interesting to see the balance of spices and temperature maintained in this dish
  • Kathal kastoori tikka: Jack fruit chunks marinated with Bengal gram flour, ginger and dried fenugreek leaves, finished on a sigri
  • Shammi kebab– prepared with minced mutton, raw mangoes and crushed spices. It was tender and flavorful
  • Doodhia kebab– One of the best vegetarian starter comprising of Cottage cheese roundels stuffed with mango chutney, potatoes and shallow fried.
  • Murgh potli kebab– A unique preparation of chicken breast, stuffed with chicken mince, flavoured with saffron and sweet attar, cooked on a sigri

 

The main course was equally tempting and had a vast variety of dishes each having it’s own distinct taste and flavour.

Shakahari kheechra

  • Rattan manjusha– Is garden fresh spinach dumplings stuffed with mushrooms and honey, simmered in onion and nuts based gravy. It was one of the major highlight of the day for us.
  • Shakahari kheechra– I was told that this is Chef’s personal favourite, pearl barley, wheat and lentil speciality. The lentils , spices ad veggies together made an epic combination.
  • Bater hara salan– A c oriander based gravy with succulent quail, this was a delight to have!
  • Band gosht– This is Dilli 32’s version of this mutton delicacy originates from the streets of Aminabad. The mutton was succulent and the gravy was delicious.  I would highly recommend it.
  • Murg musallam– Whole chicken stuffed with khoya, mint, nuts and eggs. This is the dish according to me which defines the glory of Awadhi cuisine.
  • Dum ki raan– Is basically thewhole leg of lamb marinated with yoghurt, onion, garlic, chilli, fig, lazzat e taam and pot roasted
  • Chilman biryani–A unique preparation of rice and mutton flavoured with saffron, kewra and sealed with puff dough,dum cooked. The quality of rice which was used was extremely satisfying and coming to the taste and the flavours it was just spot on.

 

The journey ended on a sweet note with some of their signature desserts such as Kacche aam ki Kheer which is an interesting take on Kheer by adding the flavour of raw mango. Jauzi ka halwa was a pudding made with wheat and had an essence of cardamom and saffron. Kishmish aur gond ke laddoo was just like any other Indian household recipe which was giving us a sense of a meal prepared at home.

 

In a nutshell it is 4.5/5 to this place The special menu will be available at Dilli 32 at INR 1732 plus taxes per person (1900 hrs – 2345 hrs) from 21st August – 30th August, 2015.

I am never a fan of getting myself clicked but a tryst with history had a fan girl moment in me.
🏵️
During my graduation in history from Delhi University, I was a big fan of Roman history. So when I was actually in a historical place right out of my books, I couldn't stop myself from getting?

Often listed amongst the best beaches in the world, Anse Lazio in Praslin, Seychelles truly open gates to altogether new world. And let me tell you, reaching here was quite a journey. One has to reach the bottom of the hill to Zimbabwe either by car or bus, then one has to trek over a large forested jungle clad hill and along some way before you reach the beach. But the journey is well worth the effort with views that take your breath away perfect with fine white sands and gorgeous turquoise waters that are so clear you can watch the fish swim around you, it's no surprise Anse Lazio is frequently called 'the best beach in the world'.

When traveling, definitely discover a Beverage destination. We headed to the @Takamaka Rum Seychelles distillery with @Creole Travel Services where we fell in love with the slow pace, exquisite beach and two barrel aged rums. The Extra Dark is aged twice, first in French Oak and then in reused Bourbon casks for three years and the St. Andre which has been aged for eight years in American Bourbon casks. Which one should we get back for tasting?
