With Abhijeet Saha of Caperberry by birth but almost a true-blue Bengaluru soul by now I first met him when he was the executive chef at The Leela Bengaluru a few moons ago He used to create some unusual things (including an entire French cheese board) for the Sunday brunch at Citrus which used to be and probably still is quite a social event Along with his young protégé Goutham Balasubramanian, he has opened Toscano, an Italian style trattoria and Café Noir, a Parisian style patisserie, both in UB City (UB City, 24,Vittal Mallya Road) I also try out the quirkily named Pink Poppadom (Tel: +91 80 25558888) at the smart new Ista Hotel, very centrally located off MG Road I don’t know if I would call it fusion; perhaps ‘modern Indian’ is more appropriate Whatever you choose to call it, it is a feat of creativity Chef Biswas who is responsible for creating this menu, won Best Chef of the year last year in Bengaluru and deservedly so His Foie Gras Galouti Stack with Honey, Flashed Bakarkhani and Tandoori Duck and Quail with Pomegranate Dressing are outstanding as is the Gucchi Farci (morel mushrooms stuffed with almond and apricot in a white makhani sauce) I also love his Kasundi Fish Paupiette (a classic Bengali dish made with a twist) I only leave after trying the Strawberry Phirni and the Paan Shot – a gulp of paan in a glass The prices are ridiculously low for this kind of food Last and by no means the least, is Edo (Tel: +91 80 22119898) the WorldMags.net Japanese restaurant at the ITC Gardenia Gardenia is probably one of the most beautiful ITC properties in the country and an environmantallyfriendly LEED Platinum Green Hotel To my mind, Edo is the finest Japanese restaurant in the country today and probably the best kept secret in the fine dining brigade It serves sublimely executed dishes Izakaya style, in café-like interiors done up in pinewood In addition to superlative sashimi and sushi, they also have nimono (dishes steamed and served in broth) robatayaki (a sort of mixed grill) and tempura, crisp and perfectly seasoned And don’t miss dessert (not normally a star in Japanese restaurants) especially the homemade sour cherry and the black sesame ice creams along with the green Tea Ra Misu Chef Miyazaki presides over the whole restaurant What’s more, you don’t have to take out a mortgage to eat here; it is priced quite reasonably Obviously, the city is also a source of great food products I always pop in to Namdhari (namdharifresh com) There are several outlets throughout the city but I usually end up going to the one in Indira Nagar or Koramangala They stock pots of fresh herbs and keep a good variety of products, imported and local, as well as very fresh organic fruit and vegetables from their own farms Everything is seasonal so you may not find the same products everytime I look out for the huge variety of fresh chillies, especially their red and green jalapenos For serious foodies with a bottomless budget, the French brand of cookware, Le Creuset (cookware.lecreuset.com) has opened its own dedicated store on Lavelle Road I also find good ground coffee (with and without chicory) and roasted beans in most supermarkets Cotha’s and Sidapur from Coorg are the brands I look out for So yes, in conclusion, if I had to pick my favourite foodie city in India, it would have to be Bengaluru masterclass COOK LIKE A PRO Smart ways to improve your kitchen skills Words KAINAZ CONTRACTOR Photograph GARETH MORGANS In this section T Karam Sethi’s butter-garlic-pepper crab masterclass p 144 T Homemade Indian pickles p 146 T New wine varieties in India p 147 VED O R P P A MICROWAVE RICE COOKER All cooks have their go-to technique for cooking each grain of rice to fluffy perfection While some insist on draining the boiling water at the last minute, many assert that if your ratio of water to rice is precise, there’s no need to so Sadly, no single method is foolproof since the type of rice used (short-grained, basmati etc) dictates its cooking time This is where the microwave rice steamer comes in Simply throw in a cup of rice and two cups of water, screw on the lid and watch it bubble away at express speed (timings vary depending on the microwave) We tested it with different rice varieties and were happy to report zero cases of khichdi-like sludge Also, no more supervising the stove for potential spillage!

about a broad range of issues for the Economic Times He is also a well known food writer and blogger AUGUST 2012 W hen India’s winemakers first started planting near Nasik and Bangalore 15-20 years ago, they planted the workhorses of the wine world – varieties like Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc that can produce good wine under a fairly wide range of conditions They also planted trendy varieties like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay The results were fairly clear The workhorses did well and produced some really good wine The trendy varietals mostly did badly and thus, it was clear which varietals would work in India The growth of the global wine industry has spread the cultivation of some superstar varietals at the expense of many local ones, but these are still used to make wines at regional levels A few Indian winemakers have now started looking at these grapes, especially from places like Sicily and Spain, where the summers can approach an Indian intensity Andrea Valentinuzzi, who makes the wines at Reveilo, started with excellent Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, but also planted lesserknown varietals – Nero d’Avola and Sangiovese for red wine and Grillo for white wine Fratelli has also recently launched a Sangiovese Malbec from Argentina is another varietal that seems promising But the one attracting most interest is Tempranillo from Spain These wines should reach the market next year, but till then here are a few new or lesser-known varietals worth trying Reveilo Nero d’Avola (` 675, Godrej Nature’s Basket and leading wine stores, Mumbai) This red wine has dark berry flavours, but not the jammy excess of Shiraz It has some of the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, but not its severity, and has a lively peppery aftertaste Such a powerful wine needs to be paired with an equally powerful dish; go for red meat such as raan or rogan josh Sula Dindori Viognier (` 740 in Mumbai at Godrej Nature’s Basket and leading wine stores, ` 640 in Delhi at Godrej Nature’s Basket) An Indian white that’s not sweet, although its fresh flowery aroma can trick you into thinking it is This lovely aroma helps conceal a steeliness that might be disconcerting for those used to softer, sweeter Indian whites The perfect partner?

Oliver, though not in that order As told to PARAG MANIAR How often you cook? Not too often because I have a great cook at home But I have made quite a good breakfast on some days — scrambled eggs and chai Most prized kitchen tool you own? My gas lighter It’s a very fancy one, funky and super long I am petrified of fire and scared of getting my hands burnt, which is why my mother has kept it What’s your cooking style – relaxed and easy or kitchen Nazi? Kitchen Nazi! I get terribly hyperactive while cooking Even in a restaurant I get stressed because I am very indecisive and not know what to order What’s the one dish you’ll never touch? Karela (bitter gourd) for sure Your dream party guest list includes… Ryan Gosling! If I had a party, I would invite only him and then claim that my other friends didn’t turn up so I could be alone with him If you had to cook a romantic meal, what would be on the menu? Homemade pasta would be both healthy and delicious 154 BBC GoodFood Your most loved restaurant in the world? Gajalee, the seafood restaurant in Mumbai I visit it chiefly for the Bombay duck (bombil) but I also love the other seafood there If you had to spend a day with any one chef, who would it be? Jamie Oliver Besides being a good cook, he is hot, too! If you had to open a restaurant, what kind of place would it be? I would open a restaurant serving several different cuisines and include all the things we make at home, which is yummy food that is healthy at the same time Pet peeve in a restaurant? When the waiters have no knowledge about the food being served in their own restaurant They work there and it’s their job to know all about the food in the restaurant! A sudden surge of unexpected guests turn up at your house What you do? I would quickly turn out a grilled fish and stuffed mushrooms Your guilty food pleasure? Fried fish I can live solely on it The dishes you love the most? Fried Bombay duck (bombil) and pepperoni pizza Padamsee’s idea of a romantic meal — a light, healthy pasta If I had a party, I would invite only Ryan Gosling, then claim my other friends didn’t turn up so I could be alone with him! WorldMags.net What is your signature dish? Bombay duck, of course! Your favourite food moment from a movie or book?
