Michelin-starred chef to cook at Yantra

·

Indian fine dining restaurant plays host to London-based culinary maestro.

The world’s first Indian chef to be awarded a Michelin star in 2001 and 2009 for his UK restaurants, Zaika and Rasoi, Vineet Bhatia is conducting a series of Champagne pairing dinners and a cooking demonstration at Yantra.

Credited for revolutionising Indian food in Britain with his bold modern approach to the complex cuisine, Bhatia sets new boundaries with inventive pairings like tandoori duck confit.

Together with Yantra’s host chef, Chintan Pandya, they will showcase the best of south Asian cuisine. A case in point: plain basmati rice layered with vegetables is transformed to an exotic ‘Parda Subz Biryani’ with the addition of dry fruits and fresh herbs. A spritz of rose water perfumes the dish which is then served with a yogurt dip adorned by scarlet pomegranate jewels.

For a taste of Bhatia’s culinary magic, don’t miss the following events:
