It is a confluence of several cultures and identities, Indian and foreign, but with a compelling identities. Indian and foreign, but with a compelling identity all its own, so wondrously compelling identity all its own 400 years ago by its founders, Sultan Mohammed Quli. His invocation for the city was that "millions of men and women of all castes, creeds and religions (should) make it their abode, like fishes in the ocean". In the same spirit, he first named the city Bhagnagar, after his Hindu consort Bhagmati. Later, when the queen was conferred the title of Hyder Mahal, he renamed the city after her to Hyderabad. This book takes you on a short and somewhat sentimental journey to Hyderabad, allowing you to take in the city's charming history, experience its enchanting culture and its somewhat overdone social graces and above all, savour its exquisite cuisine. Like the city's heritage, culture and language, Hyderabadi food is a fusion of several inputs. It blends the class and refinement of the north with the sauce and spice of the south. The repertoire is rich, vast and seductive, both in vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare, and boasts of several varieties of kebabs and biryanis, and curries and dals. This is the first authentic magnum opus on Hyderabadi cuisine and is ornamented with several brilliant photographs. Pratibha Karan was born in Bombay and grew up in Bombay, Calcutta, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi. She did MA (Economics) from Lady Shri Ram college, Delhi University and then joined the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in 1967.

This book is an articulation of an intensely precious culinary and cultural experience. This book is an articulation of an intensely precious culinary and cultural experience.

Download or read book Biryani written by Pratibha Karan and published by Random House India. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biryani is India’s most beloved dish—one that has spread to all the four corners of the country and assumed many forms. It originated in the Mughal courts, flowering in the jagirs of Awadh, and it is in Lucknow, Delhi and the small Muslim principalities of north India that one finds the classic versions, subtle, refined, and delicately flavoured. Pratibha Karan gives us not just the definitive recipes from these regions but unearths rare and old dishes such as a biryani made with oranges, Rose Biryani and Kebab Biryani. In the south, the biryani has an equally distinguished lineage, if not more so. There are the blue-blooded biryanis of Hyderabad which include gems such as the Doodh ki Biryani, Keeme ki biryani and Bater ki biryani. Away from the royal courts, the biryani has adapted itself into a spicy local delicacy in Tamil Nadu, with many towns like Salem, Aambur, Dindigul boasting of their own signature version of the dish. Kerala too is home to many - a prawn biryani spiced with curry leaves and aniseed, a mutton one laced with star anise. There are as many stunning variations in the east and west—Goan biryanis using vinegar and olives; unusual dishes from the Parsi and Sindhi communities; Bengali adaptations using fish and mustard seeds, even a dish from Assam! Immaculately researched, full of extraordinary recipes, and beautifully designed and photographed, Biryani is the ultimate book on this princely dish.

Download or read book Sebastian Sons A Brief History Of The Mrdangam Makers written by T. M. Krishna and published by Context. This book was released on 2022-10-30 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book MUSICIAN AND ACTIVIST T.M. KRISHNA INVESTIGATES THE HISTORY OF THE MRDANGAM AND MEETS THE INVISIBLE KEEPERS OF A TRADITION: THE MRDANGAM MAKERS. The mrdangam is an integral part of the Karnatik stage, its primary percussion instrument. Yet—startling as this is—the instrument as we know it is only a century old. T.M. Krishna investigates the history of the mrdangam and meets the invisible keepers of a tradition: the mrdangam makers. The making process is an intellectually, aesthetically and physically taxing one. From acquiring the skins for the circular membranes and straps to the wood for the drum, from curing the material to the final construction, and at the end of it all, making sure that it has the tone that the mrdangam player wants, mrdangam-making is also a highly nuanced operation at every stage. While several artists have been credited with the evolution of the instrument, including the stalwart Palghat Mani Iyer, none of them had knowledge of a fundamental aspect of the making: hide. The quality of the hide and how it is cured, cut, stretched, bound and braided impacts the tone, timbre and sound of the instrument. This requires a highly tuned ear and an ability to translate abstract ideas expressed by musicians into the corporeal reality of a mrdangam. Yet, their contribution to the art of the mrdangam is dismissed as labour and repair—when it is spoken of at all. There are legendary mrdangam players, yes; there are also distinguished mrdangam makers, many of them from Dalit Christian communities, who remain on the fringes of the Karnatik community. Sebastian and Sons explores the world of these artists, their history, lore and lived experience to arrive at a more organic and holistic understanding of the music that the mrdangam makes.
