1/9 As India continues its struggle to procure crucial medical equipment to combat the pandemic, many Indian chefs working abroad are spreading awareness and cooking special meals to raise funds for various NGOs in India, in a bid to help. Image
2/9 One such example is Michelin starred @Ghai_chef from London. Chef Ghai is the founder of @kutirchelsea , one of London's most loved modern Indian restaurants.
3/9 The restaurant will launch a charity drive for Covid relief on 31st May 2021, where Ghai and his team will offer guests two seating options for a special six-course wine-paired menu.
4/9 All profits from the initiative will be donated to the Brij healthcare and research centre in Uttar Pradesh and will be used to purchase medical-grade oxygen concentrators.
5/9 The special 'Expedition' menu includes a vegetarian and non-vegetarian option and will feature some of Ghai's signature dishes such as: soft shell crab with chickpeas, tandoori lamb chops spiced with black cumin and aloo tikki.
6/9 In addition to this special meal, the restaurant will urge its guests to make donations to support India's covid response and has pledged to even match each donation like for like, doubling the financial aid provided.
7/9 “We couldn’t stand by and watch the worsening health crisis develop in India without trying to help as best we can. We hope this dinner raises much-needed funds, as well as giving visibility to the struggle India is going through at the moment.
8/9 We’ll also be matching donations from our generous guests throughout the month in the hope that we can really make an impact. I’ll be in the kitchen cooking for as many guests as possible as we open our doors to serve a very special menu of..
9/9 ..which all proceeds will go towards India-based Brij Healthcare and Research Centre to purchase medical-grade oxygen concentrators for free health care.” @Ghai_chef

1/8 Unless you are the luckiest man in the world you will find it impossible to get a good kulcha outside of Amritsar.

There is a reason for that. At most restaurants, there is just one tandoor and everything goes into that. Image
2/8 But you can’t cook a good kulcha in a hot tandoor like you can cook a naan or a tandoori roti. A kulcha needs its own special tandoor kept at a gentle temperature.
3/8 Only in Punjab are there so many restaurants dedicated to kulchas which have tandoors kept at perfect kulcha temperatures. The cook will roll out the dough in layers, smearing each layer with a coating of ghee.

1/8 More nonsense is written about Pav Bhaji than about any other Mumbai dish. It was not invented as a meal for hungry mill workers. But yes there is a textile connection. Image
2/8 In the 1950s and the early 1960s, merchants would gather at the Cotton Exchange in the heart of Mumbai to wait for the daily New York cotton figures. Because of the time difference, these would only come in after midnight.
3/8 When the merchants left the Cotton Exchange they would always be famished.

Stalls selling pav bhaji opened near the Exchange to feed them. The dish was vegetarian because the merchants were mostly Gujaratis.
