सभी का स्वागत All Welcome November 24TH 2021 RESTAURANTS RESERVATIONS STORE DELIVERY ET CETERA The Journal Bombay Events Café Stories Food Design Videos FEATURED ENTRY The all-new Biryani Feast This year has been a busy one. After figuring out how to send Bacon Naan Rolls in the post, we then found a way to send delicious, part-prepped meals to your homes, and soon Home Feasts were being enjoyed in houses (and gardens, campsites, caravans..!) all over the UK. However, there was one common complaint: the star dishes are Sheekh Kabab and Murgh Malai, and this meant our vegetarian friends felt a little left out. Of course, in Bombay, vegetarian dishes abound. From street food stalls to lavish banquets, there is no need of meat to provide a fulsome feast, and many Bombayites forgo it happily. This is one of the reasons our restaurant and delivery menus are so vegetarian-friendly, and so it was obvious, in hindsight, that the Dishoom Store needed to catch up. In response, Chef Naved and his inventions-wallas busied themselves again, and now we’re very glad to be able to send you a delicious, hearty, entirely vegetarian meal at home by way of the Biryani Feast. Read More Diwali at Dishoom In the days and weeks before Diwali, the excitement and gaiety flickers through Bombay like electricity. It is with that same sense of excitement that we announce we can once again bring friends and family together for a first-class partee. With almost two years since our last get-together, it brings unsurpassed joy to be able to finally share the particulars of our 2021 Diwali celebrations. INTRODUCING THE DISHOOM HOME FEAST The Dishoom Home Feast allows you to bring family and friends together at home over a generous selection of our most-loved dishes. This all-new kit provides welcome shortcuts to favourite Dishoom dishes – you’ll receive an ensemble cast of café classics, all suitable for dishing up and sharing with family and friends. THE STORY OF DISHOOM BIRMINGHAM REIMAGINED Last year, to celebrate the opening of Dishoom Birmingham, we launched an exciting writing competition with our good friends at Birmingham Stories, part of the National Literacy Trust. Entrants were tasked with writing a story inspired by the café’s founding myth: the story of Roda Irani. ~ OUR FOUNDING MYTHS When we create a Dishoom, we always imagine it as an Irani café deeply rooted in an aspect of Bombay history. We then sit down and write a story – a different founding myth – which guides every single detail of that space. Read the founding myths DISHOOM'S BACON NAAN ROLL RECIPE The Dishoom Bacon Naan Roll has something of a cult following; it must surely be our signature breakfast dish. Try it at home with our signature recipe. HOW TO MAKE DISHOOM CHAI WITH YOUR NAAN ROLL 'AT-HOME' COOKERY KIT There are many varieties of Chai. The kind we make at Dishoom is the sort of spicy, sweet Chai you will find at Bombay's innumerable tapris (street stalls), normally poured with great dexterity and skill from arm's length into a small, stout glass. The powerful concoction of milk, sugar and caffeine is what keeps the city running. REFLECTIONS FROM BHAWANI SINGH SHEKHAWAT, CEO AT AKSHAYA PATRA UK We began working with the Akshaya Patra Foundation in 2015, supporting them in their goal of ending hunger as a barrier to education in India. Over the years, we’ve developed lasting friendships with the incredible team and had the sincere privilege of visiting many of the schools and communities they serve in India. Last month, we celebrated reaching the milestone of donating 10 million meals to hungry children with Magic Breakfast and Akshaya Patra through our meal for a meal partnership. Akshaya Patra’s CEO and Trustee, Bhawani Singh Shekhawat, kindly took the time to reflect on the impact of the foundation’s life-changing work. THOUGHTS FROM RACHAEL ANDERSON, HEAD OF SCHOOLS AT MAGIC BREAKFAST We began working with Magic Breakfast in 2015, supporting them in their goal of ending hunger as a barrier to education in the UK. Over the years, we’ve developed lasting and loyal friendships with the incredible team and their partner schools. This month, we celebrate reaching the milestone of donating 10 million meals to hungry children in partnership with Magic Breakfast and Akshaya Patra. Magic Breakfast’s Head of Schools, Rachael Anderson, has kindly taken the time to reflect on the last six years of our work together, as well as sharing her thoughts on the profound impact the past twelve months have had. 10 MILLION MEALS FOR CHILDREN Since 2015, for every Dishoom meal you’ve enjoyed (whether in the cafés, via delivery, or as a meal kit), we’ve donated a meal to a child that might otherwise go hungry. A meal for a meal. This month, as we reached the milestone of donating 10 million meals, we had occasion to catch up with our dear friends and long-term charity partners, Magic Breakfast and Akshaya Patra. The work both charities do to end hunger as a barrier to education is simply incredible and we’re extremely proud to be able to support them and the communities they serve in the UK and India, respectively. We kindly invite you to take a moment to hear their reflections on our partnership and on the impact of the very important work they do. DISHOOM UTTAPAM STACK RECIPE Uttapam are a fluffy savoury dosa, made with rice. They're usually enjoyed with savoury toppings but we particularly like ours with lashings of jaggery syrup and a thick, strained yoghurt. Chef Naved has shared his recipe for making an extra fluffy stack at home. Load more...
