Lead Chef and Culinary Designer, Chef Rohan D’Souza of the newly opened Basanti And Co. shares two easy to make Diwali recipes.
Diwali is knocking on our doors and let’s face it, there is something innately comforting in devouring a bowl of scrumptious festive food along with dressing in one’s festive finest and bursting crackers. Lead Chef and Culinary Designer, Chef Rohan D’Souza of the newly opened Basanti And Co. at Versova is all for delicious Diwali delicacies.
He says, “Diwali is a great time to get together with family, relatives and friends! From tangy and spicy chaats to sinful mithais the festival is all about indulgence and merry making.”
He goes on to add, “Lit homes and the sound of laughter fills houses with happiness and food is as always the bonding factor.”
However, the Chef realizes that while a lot of the festivities is about food, one cannot spend the entire time in the kitchen and not do anything else.
“I suggest fuss-free and easy recipes, such as Ankruti Daal Ki Chaat as that is something that everyone loves. Chaat is your go to dish, can be made at any time of the day, requires minimal preparation and is best consumed fresh. The sprouted moong even makes this an healthy option to serve during the time that everyone is gorging in sweets and the imli ensures that there is yet a sweet factor present in the dish. Another dish I recommend is Nawabi Subz Seekh, again this is almost oil-free and can be pre-prepped and grilled right at the end before serving. Have a happy and safe Diwali!”
