From The King's Table to Street Food: A Food Histor by Pushpesh Pant 2024 PB New

Description: From The King's Table to Street Foodby Pushpesh Pant Synopsis: Who is an ‘asli Dilliwala'—a true-blue Delhizen—and what is his cuisine? To answer this question, Pushpesh Pant, food historian and raconteur par excellence, takes us on a culinary journey from the Mahabharata's Indraprastha—the first city of Delhi—to the present day, through the Sultanate, the Mughal Empire and the British Raj. On this fascinating food trip, we savour the rich qormas and kebabs of Shahjahanabad and the Shepherd's Pie and mutton cutlets of ‘angrezon ki Dilli', with a light snack in between of papri or undiya, washed down with bael ka sherbet in a good Baniya home. But that is not all. As Delhi's population grew to include migrants from across the country, so did its culinary repertoire. The Dilliwala of today is as likely to enjoy Calcutta-style street food—chops, cutlets, puchka and jhaalmuri—in the south Delhi colony of C.R. Park, as he is to relish a berry pulao and dhansak at the Parsi Anjuman. And what better tiffin than idli-dosa-sambar from the South Indian outlets that dot the city? From a city identified largely with Punjabi and Mughlai food—butter chicken and biryani—Delhi is now a melting pot of cuisines ranging from Kashmiri, Bengali and Bihari, to Andhra, Naga and ‘Indian-Chinese'. Pushpesh Pant also tracks the growth of the city's restaurant culture, from wayside dhabas and McDonalds to high-end restaurants that can compete with the best in the world—justifying its claim to being a global food capital where virtually every cuisine can be foundBook Information:ISBN 13: 9789354478086Publisher: Speaking TigerYear: 2024Format: Paperback Shipping Shipping service:We strive to provide the best possible methods of shipping for your book, so that you buy from us without worrying about shipping time, extra charges, delays or any other hassles.
