RECIPES SHAMIL THAKRAR, KAVI THAKRAR & NAVED NASIR
Taking inspiration from the old Irani cafes of Bombay (Mumbai), which sprung up a century ago by Zoroastrian immigrants from Iran, Dishoom pays homage to the food and mood of these long-ago places. The cafes broke down barriers by bringing people together over food and drink. Today, Dishoom restaurants serve an eclectic mix of tasty dishes from Bombay for breakfast, lunch and dinner and everything in between and the new cookbook, Dishoom: From Bombay With Love means you can bring those flavours of the vibrant city to your kitchen. Dishoom authors say: ‘We love serving you dishes cooked in Parsi, Muslim, Hindu and Christian traditions, which all jostle on our tables for space.’
Try kejriwal (fried eggs with chilli cheese on toast) for breakfast, aloo sabzi, a warming vegetarian curry for lunch, bigger plates for ‘first dinner’, such as chicken ruby, then onto ‘second dinner’, where you can pick from a selection of biryani dishes. You could even stretch to a ‘third dinner’ for those out on the town and have lamb boti kebab.
