About Gita Mehta

This is about the Indian writer, Gita Mehta, who attended Woodstock School (Mussoorie, India) a long time ago (1950s) and her fantastic accomplishments over the years.
This last week (12-19 September 2015) a friend sent me a link (Melwani below) which highlighted the Ganesh book by Gita Mehta – reminding me of the achievements of one of my high school classmates. Where have all my class mates gone?

Babur's supper - Mughal feasts, food, cuisine I'm interested in Indian food, especially food from historic times, like the Mughal's. So, I'm going to experiment and cook some of the recipes from Salma Husain's The Emperor's Table (2008. ISBN: 8174364536) . We start with two recipes from the time of Emperor Babur (1494-1530), Karam Dulma or Stuffed Cabbage Rolls and Kyulcha or Spicy Wholewheat Baked Bread . I cooked these last night, Saturday the 5th of Februray 2011. I write a narrative of the details of making these below. Overall? Very interesting tastes. I'd give the Karam Dulma an A- rating, while the bread or Kyulcha gets a B- or even C- rating. Very heavy food.

Emperor Bahadur Shah's feast

Emperor Bahadur Shah's feast of lamb mince with rice and gram pulao and besani bread, the Mughal feast #7 on 27 May 2012. The last Mughal emperor, and the last emperor's feast cooked in this experimental series of 'old' Indian food. For the last Mughal feast or #7 I cooked 3 recipes on Sunday evening on the 27th of May 2012 for Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar from Aurangzeb's and Bahadur Shah's sections in the S. Husain "Emperor's Table". The three recipes were 1. Rice and Bengal Gram Pulao or "Qubooli" (from Aurangzeb's section) 2. Lamb Mince with Pistachios or "Piston Ka Keema" (Bahadur Shah's section) and 3. Unlevened Gram Flour Bread or "Besani Roti" (als Bahadur Shah's section) Here's are photos of the ingredients lined up - Above is first for Pulao, then for Lamb Mine, and lst for Besani bread.
