It was a tweet that ended Michelin- star chef Atul Kochhar’s association with a luxury Dubai hotel. What followed was much backlash and the occasional show of support for Kochhar. Burnt once, twice shy, he deleted his Twitter account, perhaps to keep trolls at bay, and even stopped posting on other social media like Instagram.

Achievers from diverse fields share the one dish from their community that they’d like to introduce to the world.

“I would like to introduce Sarson ka saag with Makai ki roti. It’s an amazing combination and it is only grown in parts of North India in winter. When made well, it’s the best thing ever.”

“I’d like to introduce jalebi to international guests. I’m from Allahabad so that’s the dish I would like to showcase. I don’t know how much people would like it though, because it’s too sweet. I have served jalebis with Indian cuisine to guests from across the world at my home and they loved it. It certainly has a novelty value.”

“We are Thanjavur Maharashtrians — so our food has elements of Tamil as well as Maharashtrian cuisine. The dish I’d love to sample to a foreign visitor is ‘Ambat Bhaaji’. Think of it as next-generation sambhar that can serve the purpose of sambhar as well as curry in the meal. It’s made with tur dal, palak leaves [you can use most of the common varieties of palak], tamarind and spices. It’s of a thicker consistency than sambhar, slightly sour (hence the name), highly nutritious, filling and the best part — 100 per cent vegan. You usually have it with rice, other vegetables and, if you think it’s all getting a little too healthy, fried papad.”

“My hometown is Jamshedpur. I would pick one of the tribal dishes to introduce to the world. The locals make a jhalmuri or bhel out of insects, ants, small crickets, etc. They also make dry chutneys out of it. I’ve tried it and it is delicious. It’s definitely crunchy but hard to describe the exact taste.”

His self-imposed social media exile didn’t last too long. Less than a week later, Kochhar was back on Instagram, promoting his restaurants and engaging with followers. From pictures of scenic Marlow to gourmet dishes, Kochhar has been keeping followers updated. The chef even gave a shout out to his posh London restaurant for their culinary efforts on World Refugee Day. But as things stand, the little blue bird’s goose is cooked, for Kochhar is not back on Twitter, as yet.

Thought for the day!
