A GLIMPSE OF BOHRI GASTRONOMY IN MUMBAI

It's been a year since The Bohri Kitchen (TBK) started operations and I was waiting eagerly to sample their fares for a long time. My wait was well rewarded with an experience that entailed the warm touch of a really lovely family, The Kapadias.

Landing at the venue on a parched Sunday afternoon, we were asked to grab a glass of a very refreshing welcome drink, NARIYAL PAANI COOLER that superbly blended tender coconut with coconut water. While we were sipping on our drink, Munaf Kapadia, Chief Eating Officer (CEO) of TBK filled us in on a brief history of the Bohri community, that arrived from middle eastern shores to India centuries ago. He helped us understand how their cuisine over the years has incorporated nuances of the gastronomy of the land of Gujarat, where they first landed and eventually that of Maharashtra, where the community has migrated over a period of time.  Munaf is the brain behind creation of TBK and while he works with a reputed internet company, he has devoted his time on weekends to establish TBK as a illustrious culinary brand in a very short span of time.

FARM TO FORK: A JOURNEY TO TRIKAYA FARMS NEAR TALEGAON

This was one incredible trip, a wonderful experience that gave an insight into respecting the produce that farms across the country churn day in and day out for our kitchens.

It sometimes becomes so imperative to understand how numerous ingredients that make it to our plate are grown and what it feels like to eat them fresh, straight off the farms. I guess, we truly begin to respect the ingredients and work with them accordingly when we are able to witness this process.

In order to understand this journey, we visited Trikaya's farms, which are in Talegaon, about 130 kms from Mumbai with Chef Roberto Zorzoli - Chef De Cuisine - Romano's at JW Marriott Hotel Mumbai Sahar
. Arriving at the farms after a 3-hour journey, all of us were as excited as a child on his/her first class picnic to explore the place and what it had to offer.
