Delhi Dastarkhwan

Start Date

18 March 2021, 12:00 am

Delhi’s gourmets may rejoice with this weekend’s very special offering at IIC—‘Delhi Dastarkhwan’, the cuisine of Dilli. Celebrating this rich culinary heritage, brought about by the confluence of many cultures, is a mix of royal recipes from the Shahi kitchens, roadside chaats, family recipes passed down through generations, and famed urban restaurants. Kayasth, Baniya and Jain cuisines layer and borrow from each other in this fusion of flavours, augmented by Indo-Persian culinary traits brought in by the Mughals, by the Europeans, and by waves of migrations and refugees, marking Delhi, with its cosmopolitan ethos, as the culinary capital of the nation. IIC will be serving the special menu from 19th March to 21st March 2021. These items shall be served in addition to the regular menu in the Dining Hall and Lounge and also can be booked on prior demand as “Take Away” items.

Food & Faith : A pilgrim’s journey through India

By Shoba Narayan ( New Delhi Harper Collins India 2020 )

About the Book :

In the book “Food & Faith: a pilgrim's journey through India”, the author, Shoba Narayan, approaches spirituality and religion from the point of view of a skeptical seeker. As the book's blurb says: What is the role of spirituality in your life? Do you pray? Is religion part of your identity or does it make you uncomfortable? To answer these and other questions, Shoba Narayan approaches faith through perhaps its most primal and nourishing aspect: food. She partakes of sacred food in shrines across India-- Puri’s bhog, Amritsar’s langar, Palani’s panchamirtham, Mathura’s pedas, Ambalapuzha’s paal-payasam, Kashi’s sweets, Jaipur’s rabdi, Ajmer’s kesaria bhat, Madurai’s dosai, Jewish halva in Mumbai, and communal feasts in Udupi, Goa and the Kumbh Mela. Sacred food is linked to history, myth, and identity of specific shrines and their faithful. Food & Faith explores this powerful yet intimate connection.

Panelists: Ms. Rehana Munir, Writer ; Sh. Sourish Bhattacharyya, Journalist ; Ms.Shoba Narayan ,Journalist, Content Creator &Author of the book

Moderator : Ms. Jasleen Vohra,TV Presenter, Commentator
