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.

Along with Sarita, India Open Gold-medallists Neeraj (57kg) and Jamuna Boro (54kg) also made the squad which will be headlined by six-time world cham- pion M C Mary Kom (51kg), who was picked on Wednesday without a trial on the basis of her perfor- mance in the past few months. Manju Rani (48kg), Jamuna Boro (54kg), Neeraj (57kg), Manju Bomboriya (64kg), and Nandini (81kg) will be competing in the mega-event for the first time. Mary Kom’s selection without a trial was on Wednesday criticised by former junior world Nikhat Zareen, who alleged that she was stopped from fight- ing a scheduled trial bout on Tuesday. World Championships Bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain (69kg) was also picked without undergo- ing trials, which concluded on Thursday. The big event is scheduled in Russia from October 3 to 13. Eight-time Asian medallist Sarita Devi, a world champion in 2006, confirmed her place after defeat- ing last year’s world Bronze-medallist Simranjit Kaur. Simranjit had won a Gold in the Indonesia President’s Cup last month. Fresh from claiming the Gold at the Umakhanov Memorial International last week, Haryana pugilist Neeraj continued her winning streak by edging Asian Championships Bronze-medallist Manisha Moun to secure the 57kg berth. In the 75kg category, Asian Championships Gold- medallist Pooja Rani was beaten by Saweety Boora, a Gold-medallist from the same tournament a year before.
