Varq, the specialty indian restaurant at the Taj Mahal hotel, Mansingh Road is popular for preserving the culinary heritage of India. Continuing with the showcase of the lost recipes of old dynasties, this is the second such promotion in the series. Starting 20th august, the team at Varq presents to you yet another exemplary menu from the royal kitchens of Mewar. The Rajasthani cuisine being one of the oldest cuisines serving to the dynasties of ancient India is known for its rich, aromatic and fresh ingredients. The Chef de Cuisine at the Varq, Rajesh Singh after a lot of research and trips to the region has innovatively crafted a menu which does not compromise on the authenticity of the flavours of Mewar.
Besides doing the usual heavy Dal Baati choorma, gatte ki sabzee etc which are common in Rajasthani food, a six course menu has been designed which is not only beautifully presented but is also extremely light on the palate and flavoursome. The journey starts off with a cold glass of spiced Thandai with an essence of kesar. In the starters served is the nicely plated Duet of Paasley Angeera and Murgh Hawa Mahal, lamb chops cooked with spices on charcoal and chicken cooked in khoya with short crust pastry. The vegetarian offering in this course is the Palak Makai and Ker sangdi wadi, deep fried corn kernel with spinach and patty of wild berries and lentils. The aromatic Murgh Pudina Ark, is a simmered chicken broth flavoured with mint and loaded with almond flakes swells your appetite. To cleanse your palate, a mildly tangy Kache aam ka sorbet is presented which gives a pleasant break. In the main course choose from a range of specialties namely, Gatte ka saag, Khumb makai Sweta with spinach, Safed Maas and Khad Murgh. The main course is accompanied with Mangodi ka pulao, Dal banjari and some piping hot breads like khoba roti, thotri and makki ki roti. End your meal on a sweet note with a trio of desserts, Aloo ka Halwa, Khajoor ka meetha and Ghevar topped with nutty rabdi.
