Sesame Restaurant in New Malden is organising a Rajasthani
Food Festival Food Festival from 15 February -18 April 2010, which
offers you a virtual gastronomic tour of an exotic range of cuisine
from India's fabulous culinary region of Rajasthan (Land of Desert
Princedoms).
In the royal kitchens of Rajasthan, as well as most other states,
food was very serious business and raised to the level of an
art-form. Hundreds of cooks worked in the stately palaces and kept
their recipes a closely guarded secret.
Some recipes were passed on to their sons and the rest were lost
forever. It became a matter of great prestige to serve unusual dishes
to guests and the royal cooks were encouraged to experiment. The
tales of how cooks tried to impress their guests by presenting at
least one unforgettable item on the menu have now become legends.
This special festival menu is masterminded by Sohan Lal Badoni,
Sesame's virtuoso Head Chef and one of the few Indian international
chefs in the UK with the necessary expertise and a repertoire
comprehensive enough to accomplish this formidable task.
His showcases at food festivals in gourmet capitals around the globe
have attracted high accolades and he ranks among the world's
distinguished chefs who have cooked for Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
Rajasthani cuisine boasts a royal heritage, once created by court
chefs to pamper the palates of Rajput warrior princes and Mogul
emperors. We present this selection from Rajasthan with a variety of
starters like Methi Salmon Tikka, Murg ke Sooley and Bhindi Kurmuri
etc. There are authentic entrees like Lal Maas and Murg-e-Mewar.
There is a wide selection for the vegetarians to choose from -
lentils, beans, paneer & vegetable dishes prepared by our skilled
Indian chefs to bring you the true flavour of Rajasthan.
Your favorite Sesame Restaurant opened its doors only three years
ago, but it already enjoys a fan club that extends to the heart of
the Capital itself attracted by its state-of-the art ambience, the
quality of its service, its value for money and above all, its haute cuisine.
The ambience exploits all that's best in contemporary design.
The waiters are schooled well enough to achieve a standard of service
that's unobtrusively smart and value for money is incomparable.
Sesame last ran a highly successful seafood festival with a
impressive range of quality fish dishes and the new festival promises
another adventure in quality. |
