| an interesting way to start March 1st
HERE'S a treat for gourmets, foodies and amateur cooks. But which, unfortunately, is up for grabs only to 25 people. Jafferbhai Mansuri, the Delhi Darbar restaurateur, is demonstrating how to make the Mutton Biryani his restaurant is popular and famous for. He's spending an exclusive Afternoon with UpperCrust at Dinesh Khanna's The Club on Saturday, March 1. Jafferbhai will show why he is known in Bombay as the Biryani King.
Actually, he's cooking for our Farzana Contractor as part of the Women's Week celebrations at The Club. We are inviting 25 readers to join in this biryani workshop. Jafferbhai will bring Basmati rice, he will bring the choice cuts of mutton (with bone and without bone), he will carry with him those burnt, brown onion strands known as birasta, and he will supply pyaaz of freshly-cut onion rings and green lime quarters. All you have got to do is call up this office (22871616, 22872312) today before 5 p.m., ask for Bernadette D'Silva, and register yourself. Hope you are among the first 25 callers!
A word about Jafferbhai. If you are a Delhi Darbar patron (who is not, in Bombay!), then you will be familiar with the authentic and outstanding Mughlai food on its menu. Well, Jafferbhai can prepare everything on it right upto the caramel custard and bread halwa. His children (who will accompany him to The Club on Saturday) swear that his cooking style is so distinctive, they can taste a biryani and tell if Jafferbhai has made it! He's also cooking a chicken dish and dessert. After the demo, we shall eat the food! Then go home and watch India play Pakistan at the World Cup.  |
