Hi … I am an Indian cuisine chef , based in London. I am a qualified chef from IHM pusa , New Delhi .
I got trained from Taj group of hotels . I started my career with Taj Delhi as Taj Management trainee and then got potsed in Taj lands End , Mumbai. I learned the fine art of Indian cuisine from here. Very soon I got in touch with mintLeaf group of restaurants , London and moved here in 2007. The period I spent in culinary capital of world , taught me the art of playing with ingredients in the most sophisticated manner. I fell in love with the bounty of colourful vegetables , fresh seafood and variety of processed food products which I used as an integral part of my food in cooking and plating both.
Currently I am working back with Taj group of hotels – Bombay Brasserie restaurant , London . And Now I think its best time to give the cuisine what I learnt the most . Ever since my educational days I wondered why there is no Specific work in Indian cuisine . Despite having some popular recipe books , there is not much to learn its basics. and my mind clicked at this and I am here with the blog .
I aim to bring the trade secrets of the cuisine with plenty of basic as well unique recipes . hope it will serve the trade professionals and the aspiring chefs as well. Moreover I intend to publish the information of plated food in Indian cuisine .
Hope it will all be interesting to join with you through my blog.
Thanks …
good luck

hi,
i have a question regarding the crushed spices in the kadhai gravy.
i was wondering that the weight of the same is mentioned as 10gms, is this tge weight of each spice or the total of them?
if its 10gms of each spice then whats the weight of each individual spice?
would really appreciate it if you could clear my doubt.
amazing website.
cheers
ravi
Hi Ravi
Thanks for finding this site useful for you .
I have done the necessary changes in blog
10 gm was the combined weight and if you find the individual weight very small to weigh then multiply it with 3 or 5 and then use it i/3 or 1/5 accordingly
And just to let you know. I have moved to www. Indian zaiqa . Com
Thanks. Regards
Very good .thank you sir

Hi there,
It was interesting and funny to see how your work on gravies was literally copied and presented as a submission for course work I presume, by a student in Chandigarh College of Hospitality in 2017! Imitation is the best form of flattery!! How do I get more of basics? Any books/courses you can suggest. I live in London too and so would be great to catch up and learn.
Please share your Facebook page or details. I want to contact you
