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. The morel mushrooms are cleaned and soaked to remove any grit,

Alpine delicacies from the Swiss Alps

As we face restrictions on global travel, Switzerland encourages people to ‘Dream Now Travel Later’, assuring the world that the beautiful country will pause time and stay the way it is to be ready to welcome visitors when the world opens up. Till then, it is a good idea to travel through your kitchens and experiment with dishes that are symbolic to Switzerland and experience the cuisine from one of the most loved destinations. Here are some top easy-to-make recipes with ingredients available in your kitchen. ‘Alpine Macaroni’or known to the Swiss as Älplermagrone, is the ultimate comfort food one can find on the slopes of the famous Alps. This alpine dish is found everywhere on restaurant menus from Appenzell to Zermatt, through Lugano and St. Moritz. https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-in/experiences/food-wine/recipe/alpine-pasta/ Has this quarantine been too tough on you? Then indulge in some ‘Cheese Fondue’for a generous dose of creamy pot of cheese with the pieces of bread just like the Swiss do. Switzerland is known for its best fondues, however there are many different styles and versions. One of the best variations is the Fribourg one, the moitié-moitié, made from spicy Gruyères and softly melting Vacherin cheeses.   Looking for a Saturday night cheat meal? Then melt up the cheese and serve it with vegetables, lavash, croutons and potato wedges, this gives an interesting twist to your fondue palette while you binge watch on your favourite shows. https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-in/experiences/food-wine/recipe/fondue/ ‘Rosti’or also known as “Röstigraben” (Rösti ditch), originally a farmers’ breakfast from German-speaking Switzerland, is now a Swiss national dish with each region having its own version. The Bernese, for example, are known for their crispy Rösti fried in butter. This classic comfort food is surprisingly easy to make, with some tricks along the way, and it turns potatoes into a main meal. The recipe can be summarized in five words: grate potatoes sautéed in butter. The resulting dish is a pancake of potato, crispy brown on the outside, gooey, buttery, potato-licious inside. This is a dish that is very easy to create in your kitchens for a lazy Sunday brunch. https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-in/experiences/food-wine/recipe/recipe-for-roesti/ Meringue, a sweet kiss with egg whites is a sugary pastry invented around the year 1600. Since the delicate and airy pastry made from egg whites and the thick battered Gruyères cream complement each other so well, one easily understands why Meringue is a favourite dessert in the land of Fribourg. You can enjoy your meringue in two ways – one can be slowly baked, transforming into crisp cookies or as dessert on top of cake’s layers. It is a good start to your love for baking delicious desserts. https://www.myswitzerland.com/en-in/experiences/food-wine/recipe/meringues/ So, bring out the foodie in you and experience the taste of this magical destination by trying out some of the famous dishes.

Simple Recipe for Tawa Pulao

Simple Recipe for Tawa Pulao

We Indians are masters at the art of cleverly turning leftovers into delicious meals, and this is very evident in the dish created by the industrious stall owners of Khau Galli (a very popular street/by lane that houses food stalls in downtown Mumbai) called Tawa Pulao. The base of the dish is the bhaji, or the gravy part of an immensely popular anytime snack, Pav Bhaji. There are many stories as to the origins of this dish and the most plausible story to me is that it was created for mill workers. The cotton mills in central Bombay used to work 24 hours a day and worked in multiple shifts, the night shift used to break very early in the morning and needed a little something to quench their appetites, here was born the Pav Bhaji. Pav Bread was very easy to procure and store. The Bhaji consisted of leftover vegetables smashed together with rehydrated green peas, a healthy amount of spices thrown in and finally sprinkled with the classic salted Amul butter to enhance all flavours. Now taking this delicious dish a bit further and as an alternative, the Bhaji is mixed with leftover rice, which acquired a posh version when steamed basmati rice was used. Tossed along with the Bhaji and aromatics like coriander and mint leaves, crunchy diced onions and green capsicum along with copious amounts of salted butter on a very hot tawa or cast iron griddle, the Tawa Pulao was created. I particularly love this dish, not just because it unites two very obvious Indian loves of something chatpata and soothing rice, but because there is no “authentic” recipe! Just toss whatever leftover vegetables you have on hand, add a good amount of butter and the star, which is Pav Bhaji masala. I sort of fake my way through this dish every time, since there is no “strict” recipe – just a method and a single masala (you can use whichever garam masala you have on hand), this dish can turn leftover vegetables into something spectacular, go ahead and give it your twist. Recipe for Tawa Pulao Ingredients 3 cups cooked rice (basmati if possible) 2 cups par boiled, finely chopped vegetables of your choice (cauliflower, peas, potatoes, green capsicum, french beans, carrot, cabbage, sweet corn) 1 cup finely chopped tomatoes OR 1/2 cup tomato purée 1/2 cup finely chopped onions 3-4 tbsp salted butter 1 1/2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste 3-4 tsp pav bhaji masala 2 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder 2 tsp cumin seeds Salt to taste Coriander leaves, lime wedge, salted butter and finely chopped onion for garnish. Method Heat a wide skillet/tawa or a wok, add the butter, cumin seeds and let it sputter. The rest of the dish is cooked on a high flame. Add the ginger-garlic paste, onions and let it cook for a minute or two. Add the tomatoes and Pav Bhaji masala and Kashmiri red chilli powder. Cook until the tomatoes turn pulpy. Toss in the vegetables, and cook until the vegetables are coated, constantly mixing to prevent the them from burning. Add the rice and toss everything until well mixed. Add the coriander leaves, extra butter, toss again. Serve warm with chopped onion and lime wedges. – By Rupa Balachandar, A designer by profession, a home chef by love and a gemstone lover by passion, Rupa is a food and lifestyle writer who happens to be a vegetarian and loves to cook vegan and vegetarian versions of international cuisines for her family and friends.
