Meet the Chef CYRUS TODIWALA The Three Counties Food and Drink Festival will be welcoming award-winning chef and author Cyrus Todiwala in their guest chef line-up on Sunday 28th July. Sally Thomson caught up with Cyrus to talk about his most recent cookery book and his visit to Worcestershire this summer. As an additional treat for our readers, Cyrus has kindly shared his classic Butter Chicken recipe with us. I understand that you are going to be involved with the Three Counties Food and Drink Festival in July, Have you done it before? No, not as yet, but I am looking forward to it. They caught me just in time before I made other plans. I understand that you were very much involved with your family cooking. So, did that trigger you love of cooking? Well, living in India you never thought of cooking as a profession? Now chefs have been glorified, they’ve got recognition, they’ve got exposure and there are now cooking programmes in India. In my days, if you opted to become a cook, you were considered an insult to a middle class family. Rather a disgrace more than anything else. When you entered the cooking profession you were fixated and decided that was want you wanted to do? Over a period of time, things like dyslexia or similar were treated as lethargy or laziness. There are certain things I just couldn’t do. One of them is maths, it didn’t gel with me. I’m a practical person so could have done a lot of things, but my tastebuds were good and my understanding of food evolved from childhood and over a period of time. What was the first dish that you made on your own? My first one was chapatis. We lived in what you call a joint family. My mother’s sister lived in one side of the house and we lived on the other side. My grand aunt used to make the most excellent chapatis. I used to help myself to them from her box. And with nobody else around I would take them and caramalise them with butter and sugar and then sell them to my cousins and my sister! Now your heritage, you have plethora of wonderful dishes, do you have one that you absolutely love or does it depend on your mood or is seasonality? Which is the one which makes your mouth water? As a child, one of the things I enjoyed most was my mother’s dish called eggs on potato. So we so coddled eggs on cumin flavoured potato. Do you know Ronnie O’Sullivan? He’s coming here for a class today so I’m going to teach him how to make that. We layer it up, we break a couple of eggs on top and we let them coddle nicely in the heat of the pan. In terms of your style of cooking is it Parsi cuisine? It was part of our upbringing as we are Zorastrians. Our religion is the oldest monotheistic religion in the world. We predate Christianity by about two and a half thousand years. We had to flee Persia from the occupation, and we had to seek refuge and the closest was India. But I do enjoy living here. Meanwhile I’m in love with the world. THE THREE COUNTIES FOOD & DRINK FESTIVAL As well as cookery demonstrations from Cyrus, the festival will showcase over 160 traders showcasing food, drink, gifts, crafts, garden products, and delicious street food and bars. There’s a full menu of family entertainment including a cookery school for kids, live music and more cookery masterclasses from Phil Vickery, Rachel Allen, and Marcus Bean, as well as Bake-Off favourites, Matty Edgell and Dan Hunter. www.threecounties.co.uk www.minervamagazines.co.uk | 19
