Mumbai, 14th October 2020: India's relationship with ghosht has stood the test of time. If history is to be believed, since the days of the Indus Valley, there are numerous instances of Indians indulging in dishes made of meat. Eras passed, colonies settled and left, and with that, evolved a different imprint each civilization cast on cooking with ghosht. Tracing this rich history, Chef Mrigank journeyed the expanse of our diverse nation to find the best offering of mutton dishes India can and has historically offered. This voyage across 12 states, 25 different regional cuisines, Chef and his team of a videographer and a home cook chronicled their travels with over 150 recipes. With a diary full of these recipes, his olfactory senses still reminiscent with the smell of spice, and memories lingering with the smell of spices, and memories of a satiated appetite, he brings to Mumbai, Ghosht Stories, a traditional mutton kitchen whose every meal will etch a fondness in your mind, just like your love
A first of its kind, mutton focused cloud kitchen,Ghosht Stories, launches this week with the aim to serve up mutton dishes that will invoke a sense of homeliness--no flairs, no fancy, no modern twists--just good old fashioned humble servings of mutton delicacies. “Like history, recipes have been written and rewritten over the ages, but some are best left untouched. With this in mind, my journey to the hinterland of our country yielded a recipe bank of traditional ghosht dishes that felt most authentic and comfortable. Very often, homely can be misconstrued as easy, these recipes are anything but. Traveling from region to region, perfecting the desired flavour profile along the way, Ghosht Stories is a culmination of my culinary adventure, accompanied by interesting stories to tell,” says Chef Mrigank Singh, Chef and Co-Founder of Ghosht Stories.
Promising flavors that come as close to their origin story as feasible, the spice blends are made in-house to strike the perfect balance between heritage, tradition and taste. Each curry is rested for 8 hours to let the spices mesh beautifully, and they have their house chilli blend that is nothing like anyone’s tasted before! In order to serve the finest meals, every part of the meal needs to be of top quality, and Chef Mrigank pulls all the stops along the way, making sure that phulkas and rice are also unique. Phulkas are made with the superior Khapli wheat that is healthier and more delicious than regular wheat alongside aromatic rice preparations that would leave basmati rice far behind. The menu tells the tale of his excursions with mutton starters, curries, rolls from across the country--Mangalore’s Mutton Sukka, Easter Uttar Pradesh’s Mutton Ishtew, Jaipur’s famous Shekhawati Laal Maas, closer to home, Maa’s Mutton Tikka and much more.
“With the pandemic still at large and questioning our plans to dine out, at least for the foreseeable future, home gatherings are going to be the way forward for most. Recognising this, and the need for authentic, traditional, comforting meals to be served at such dos or just to take away for weekend getaways or of course the longing for a dish that tastes and smells like home, the idea for the cloud kitchen was born. Owing to the high quality of ingredients and the process that goes into making our dishes, our foods have a much longer shelf life than other restaurants, perfect for taking along on a weekend away,” Chef Mrigank added.
