A Kitchen Takeover with Chef Ahsan Ali Qureshi
The ancient tradition of Dum Cuisine came to its zenith in 18th century Awadh. His kingdom in grip of famine, Nawab Asaf-ud- Daulah, initiated a ‘food for work’ program employing thousands in the construction of the exquisite Bara Imambara. Large cauldrons were filled with rice, meat, vegetables and spices, and then sealed to make a simple, one dish meal that was available to workers day and night. Then, one day, the Nawab caught a whiff of the aromas emanating from a cauldron and royal kitchen was ordered to serve the dish.
200 years later, Chef Ahsan Ali Qureshi, son of legendary chef Imtiaz Qureshi, who is the Indian first chef to receive the highest civilian honor by the President of India. Ahsan is the youngest son of the legendary chef, who is from the family of chefs of the Great Nawabs, unearthed the secret of the unique flavors of Dum & Frontier Cuisines. Qureshi gradually refined the cuisine to please the royal palate.
At House of Qureshi, we are not just a cuisine but an experience, that goes beyond the mere satisfaction of appetite to the realm of sensuality: an evocative presentation of aromas, flavors, and textures.
