Food Hall at 1MG, Bangalore is currently showcasing a 'Persian Food Festival' at their store. I was part of a group of enthusiasts who gathered to learn the preparation of some Persian dishes from celebrity chef Abhijit Saha. Here's a photo tour...
Chef Abhijit Saha is the owner of award winning restaurants Fava and Caperberry in Bangalore. He delighted the audience with his trademark humor and sound knowledge of the subject...
Abhijit invited some volunteers from the audience to assist him in the cookery...
The first dish of the day is a Spinach mezze with Labneh called Borani-e-Esfenaj...
Soon the dish was ready for plating...
Borani-e-Esfenaj was as tasty as it looked...
Here's the recipe if you want to try preparing it at home...
The interactive masterclass kept the audience really involved...
Chicken Jujeh Kebab with Persian rice and mast-o-khair yogurt dip was the next dish. Marinade for the Chicken Jujeh Kebab...
Thread chicken and diced tomato on skewers...
Barbecue...
This Japanese lady amazed everyone with her skillful tossing of Polov rice...

ReplyDeleteWhat's more, it's not only the amount of these sustenances that are being expended that is disturbing - as expressed prior it's likewise the impact all the additional chemicals in these nourishments and beverages can have on our body.
