About the Event

An important saying - "What do people know of eating today? Five minutes in the pan, one second on the tongue, and then, finished! Down it goes to the, to the... Um, liver!"


In the good old days, they knew there was more to eating than this. No cook would ever have prepared a dish without considering the particular climate, the time of day, and the nature of the person who was to eat it. Was he choleric, bilious, or phlegmatic? Did he have to fight, or was he older and ready for the contemplative life? You must think about these things! You people of today do not consider the soul when you think of food. Why, eating is the summum bonum of life.


It seemed to be one of those cases when, as Forster astutely noted, "The very asking of certain questions in India makes them dissolve into something, and then into something else."


Chef Gunjan Goela will present a talk on the food of Delhi and its history for example, the story behind the prevalent use of mirch and masala (chillies and spices) in the famous Dilli Chaat. Special 'chai' and 'matthi' will be served.

The Story of Canal
"Go and tell the Emperor to stop this jubilation. The canal is a Nagin (serpent), it will bring misery and death to hundreds of its people in a few years." The old woman was not wrong in her prophecy. Whenever the canal went into neglect, it began to silt and stagnate, and became a breeding place for malaria germs.

After Aurangzeb’s death, the canal went into disuse again, and could not be repaired by anyone. Twenty-five years later, another Persain, Sa'adat Khan, Subedar of Oudh, offered his services to Mohammad Shah Rangila, for improving the canal. After he renovated it, the canal came to be known as Nahar Sa'adat Khan. Everyone was happy to see the canal flowing once again, except the king's physician, Hakim Alvi, who was so depressed that he did not attend the court of a few days. When Mohammad Shah sent for him, he appeared before him in a mourning dress. On an explanation being demanded by the king, he submitted that either the canal should be closed, as it would cause stomach disorders, or as a preventive and a curative, the citizens of Delhi should use plenty of mirch and masala (spices) in their food. Thus grew the Delhi citizens' habit of eating chaat.
