A Feast of Words & Wonders: Culinary Journey At Boche & Shakesbierre

It was the tranquil afternoon of August 10, 2024, when an oasis of mystery and indulgence was born in Boche & Shakesbierre — “A Feast of Words & Wonders,” a Sufi-themed afternoon presented by thestyle.world where some of Bangalore’s most powerful influencers gathered for an exquisite immersive journey into the world of magic through the medium of Sufi, along with some modern gastronomy. The magnificent event was hosted and curated by Ms. Shrishti Jaiswal; Editor-in-Chief (theStyle.world).    A Sufi Dreamscape As the influencers entered the venue, they also stepped into the soulful Sufi afternoon. Classy shades and delicate flower arrangements adorned the venue, along with a performance setup that injected relaxation in each individual, which made you want to get lost in the moment. It couldn’t have done better justice to this Sufi concept it had always had, where the old is stirred with the new, as it did with its own all-transformed interiors of the restaurant that felt like a magical abode, as if every corner was laden with thoughts from yore and poems of the times gone by. A Fusion of Flavours The table tasting was definitely the centrepiece of the event, according to Boche & Shakesbierre. An equally innovative and inspired menu. Chefs, culinary creations, design not meals but ‘experiences’—autonomous, self-containing plates that are orchestras of flavours, textures, and aromas. The new menu serves:  VEG STARTERS: Mexican Jalapeno Cheesy Buttons, Urulai Kaara Fry, Crispy Corn, Aam Ka Paneer Tikka, Leek & Mushroom Tarts, Dahi Ke Kebab, and Thai Crispy Chilli Vegetable.  Non-vegetarian starters: Chicken German Meat Ball, Tawa Prawns Ghee Roast, Lucknow Galouti Kebab, Tawa Chicken Tazza, Dhaniya Tawa Chicken, and Fisherman’s Fritters.  The MAIN COURSE veggies excuded were Paneer Palak Kofta, Thai Red Curry With Rice, and Vegetable Jalfrezi.  MAIN COURSE NON-Veg: Chatti Alleppey Fish Curry With Rice, Thai Green Curry With Rice, Murgh Kalimirchi.  INDIAN BREADS: Tandoori Roti, Laccha Paratha, and Tawa Coin Paratha.   Equally bewitched were the desservants. The menu read Lemon Meringue Dome, Chocolate Ganache, Shakesbierre Brownie and Tres Leches all the way. Every spoon had travelled into Sufi culture’s soul and the sweetness and warmth lingered.   Some of the Bangalore influencers are: Divya Ramesh Poopana, Vikrant Yadav, Navmita Jyoti, Apeksha, Vishal, Vasco da gama, Nitin Hajela, Leepsa Gouda, Abhishek Rattu, Gourav Mahendra, Nameesh N Rajamane, Varsha Prajwal, Fida, Namita Gupt, Within no time, posts, stories, and reels depicting the event went viral to the entire world, giving their followers a social impact that transcended the physical infrastructure of the restaurant. “A Feast of Words & Wonders” was not limited to food but included culture, innovation and unity as well. Overwhelmed with Sufi culture similar to the idea of neo-culinary movement, it offered theStyle.world and Boche & Shakesbierre some romantic yet something new, some homely yet something faraway. By afternoon, as the entire program was nearing its climax, guests started leaving the place, cherishing the beautiful moments and good food they tasted in their mouth and the good feeling that they were part of something really good.  Of tradition and innovation, it was more than an occasion; it was a declaration of the power that emerged and remained imprinted in the memory of the guests. Boche & Shakesbierre and theStyle.world, in a city of many cultures and ideas on the move like Bengaluru, “A Feast of Words & Wonders, was an absolute success to come together and arrange for a good meal with cultural elegance and culinary creations.

Let us explore together the perfect food ensemble. Culinary Cutlery and Dinner Plates: Before I take you on a tour of the culinary excellence of Taj Loya, I want to show you all the excellence of the presentation on the table. The rugged cutlery and dinner plates with burnt edges were made absolutely with natural ingredients. Won’t believe me? Have a look at this. Dal Ki Chaat: Dal ki chaat is a delightful Indian street food delicacy that tantalizes the taste buds with its burst of flavours and textures. The toppings for besan-gehun crisps with some daal include chopped onions, tomatoes, green chutney, saunth, chilies, garlic nibs, lemon juice, and garlic oil. Whether enjoyed as a snack on the bustling streets of India or served as an appetizer at home, dal ki chaat never fails to delight with its vibrant flavors and satisfying crunch. Gosht Chilli Murgh Tikka: Gosht Chilli Murgh Tikka is a tantalizing fusion dish that combines the succulence of gosht. Sigdi grilled chicken tikka marinated with bhoot jolokia, served with some smoked carrot-coconut puree and carrot-pumpkin seed salad on the side. Tender pieces of chicken are marinated in a rich blend of yoghurt, spices, and herbs, infusing them with a depth of flavor that is both robust and aromatic. The marinated meat is then grilled or roasted to perfection, imparting a smoky char and locking in the juices for maximum tenderness. Timbri Jhinga: “Timbri Jhinga” is a dish that might be a regional or local specialty, and without specific context, it’s challenging to provide a detailed description. However, “Jhinga” typically refers to prawns or shrimp in Indian cuisine. “Timbri” could be a regional or local name or a specific preparation style. Timbri marinated prawns grilled on sigdi, then smoked, served along with pea shoot salad and bhang jeera chutney on the side. Kathal Baigan Bharta: To prepare this dish, the jackfruit and eggplant are typically roasted or grilled until they’re soft and charred on the outside. Then, the skin is removed, and the flesh is mashed or finely chopped. A blend of fried kathal and roasted baigan, tossed in some chef’s special spices, garnished with baigan chips, fried kathal strands, and finished with apple wood smoke. Peppay Waale Aloo “Peppay Wale Aloo” is a dish that likely features potatoes (aloo) cooked with “peppay,” which could refer to a specific type of pepper or chili. Since Amritsar is famous for the varieties of anchaar, we have used pickling spices in peppay wale aloo and prepared it authentically in peppa. Baby potatoes with crushed wadi spiced with achaari masala and prepared authentically in peppa, garnished with microgreens and achari mirchi.   Kangra Khodiya Gosht: Inspired by “Khatta Meat,” which is a delicacy in Himachal Pradesh where meat is cooked in tomato-yoghurt gravy. Khatta meat inspired pahadi mutton curry infused with walnut ink garnished with fried red chilli and roasted walnut, a specialty from Kangda. Steamed rice or typical Himachali breads like Siddu or Chana Madra are most likely served with Kangra Khodiya Gosht. It’s a dish that showcases the culinary heritage of the Kangra region, offering a taste of the mountains with every savoury bite. Taj Loya’s Kaala Moti Gucchi Pulao: To prepare Kaala Moti Gucci Pulao, fragrant basmati rice is typically cooked with a variety of aromatic spices such as cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and bay leaves.
