New Delhi [India], August 4: Ishaara, a modern Indian restaurant known for redefining India’s culinary legacy, is bringing the taste of ‘Lost dastarkhaan of Awadh’ back into life under its ‘swaad’ initiative. With their new The Gourmet Begum menu, guests will experience the forgotten ingredients and techniques of Awadhi cuisine and relive the richness of Indian food heritage in Mumbai.
This curated experience, put together by Sunnaeya Kapur – doyenne of one of the royal families of Lucknow, is beyond food – it is a culinary storytelling that brings alive the lost magic, elegance, and soul of a forgotten royal era, tying itself into Ishaara’s narrative of exploring hidden kitchens of India. The menu of The Gourmet Begum is crafted with overlooked culinary recipes, the recipes are reinterpreted to reflect the creativity and luxury of modern gastronomy without losing the flavours of royal heritage. Every dish in the menu, like Arbi ke Shaami, Galawat kebab, kofta-e-Gulnar, and the daring Lassun ki Kheer, is a story of unknown corridors of Indian cuisine.
