In Mysore we don’t have many celebrity food shows organised so when Tarla Dalal visited Mysore for a Food Charity show, I jumped in to get the tickets and attend it. I remember ages ago she used to host a cookery show on a TV Channel and i used to follow it very regularly, then after the internet came i became a regular visitor of her site.
The Show was organised here last Monday and it was nice to finally see her in person. As i have not attended any food shows earlier, i had gone with a lot of expectation, I thought it will be a very interactive session where in we can ask her some of our questions…….but it was nothing like that. She cooked some of her signature recipes and the recipes were good. I was not able sit through the whole show as I had to come home early.
The same evening I did try 2 of her recipes one was the Spinach and Baby corn Soup and the second was a stuffed enchiladas . The soup was nice and good for a cold day. Overall it was a good experience and hope that many such demo’s happen in Mysore as well.
(I know Soup are supposed to be served in a bowl but i always have soup in a cup)
Now coming to the recipe below
