Why did you choose Awadhi cuisine to be the specialised menu this month? Awadhi cuisine is very special for me. I grew up relishing and learning it every day. My father, who also happened to be my first culinary teacher, was a master of it. The fragrance of dried herbs, roots, spices and flowers, the spluttering of charcoal in the specially-treated tandoor, kebabs resting on racks, layers of aromas, tastes, flavours and tex- tures are what mesmerised me about this cen- turies old cuisine. So naturally when I landed in the capital, a place where people take food very seriously, I was taken aback. While there was a lot of variety but the ‘Awadhi’ food that was being served was either very spicy and oily or the meat was undercooked. That’s not all, some places had changed the recipe entirely and given it a contemporary twist. I was ! "# ! "# disheartened to say the least.
