Here's a throwback to our last pop up in Bombay at the Magazine Street Kitchen, as part of the four kitchens that came together for their second anniversary celebrations.
Honoured and humbled to cook in a space like MSK, where the cooks get more space than the guests. It was a weekend we'll remember for a long long time and the immense learnings from it hopefully all our lives. We cooked, laughed, cried, drank and just lived more for the three days in that kitchen. And for that, we'll forever be grateful. 🥀
For our recipes, we tried to represent different hill regions through each plate. Here's what we cooked up.
✳️ Manipur | A street snack walk down Imphal's Ima Keithel market | Herb and veggie fritters, Dried peas and chana street snacks, Ginger Bayleaf Tea
✳️ Uttarakhand | Farmer's Breakfast | Himalayan cow ghee smeared Mandua rotis, Kumaoni and Garhwali Alu gutka, Flavoured salts, Mustard greens
✳️ Nepal | Newari Haku Chicken Choila smoked with cedar leaves, Gorkhali Mula ko achaar
✳️ Meghalaya | Jaintia Doh Neiiong (Black Sesame Pork), Sticky Rice, Khasi Cabbage Perilla Salad
✳️ Assorted Chips and dips platter with chutneys and our dips with ingredients and recipes from Uttarakhand, Nagaland, Tripura and Mizoram
✳️ Dessert | Uttarakhand Bay Laurel and lemon cake, Apricot kernels, Buransh/Rhododendron syrup, Kumaoni preserved seabuckthorn berries, Himalayan Caraway cream
We couldn't have done this without the relentless support from our friends who helped and a certain girl who does not believe in facebook, and Thapa ji. And our dear friends Ronak and Jahan from The Omakase Kitchen who helped us bring the dessert to life. Looking forward to cooking many many such meals for you, and to keep bringing our dear hills to our beloved coast through food again. 💚
