Synopsis FOOD AFICIONADO presents six menus, polished to perfection, for entertaining in style. In addition—and this is a first for Indian food books—he provides a detailed guide to matching wines with specific Indian flavours. Included is a selection of popular dishes from Kashmir, Rajasthan, Bengal and Kerala, as well as a range of Indian barbeques and fried kababs. Each of the fifty dishes featured here is accompanied by a photograph to give you a near-taste of the sumptuous food. Mohan’s recipes are tried and tested and he does not believe in short cuts. The preparations are authentic, yet easy to whip up in the contemporary kitchen. Each cuisine is organized into a composite menu covering vegetables, dals, fish, meats and dessert. You’ll find some unusual dishes too, such as palak rista (mini Kashmiri meatballs), rasgulla kadhi, papad ki sabzi, maach paturi (mustard fish wrapped in banana leaf) and goolar or fig kabab. Among the universal favourites are rogan josh, Kolhapuri mutton, prawn balchao, barah kabab and phirni. Follow this book and you will soon evolve into a master chef of Indian fine dining!
