Chef Ranveer Brar has gone Cite caine the foodscape of countries like Australia and opening restaurants in places like Boston. But he has also gone deep— traversing the interiors of the country through his shows like Station Master’s Tiffin, where he journeyed through India in trains. The intrepid food adventurer has shown that he can tango equally well with the classes and the masses.
And he proves it once again with his latest show, Dum Laga Ke India, a four-episode mini-series on Disney+Hotstar, where he takes us to the culinary strongholds of four cities—Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Bengaluru. He samples the culture and cuisine of each city, both through celebrities from the city as well as locals who represent its quintessence. The common factor? A dish that is probably the country’s greatest cultural superpower: biryani. Every episode finishes with Brar sharing biryani with the celebrity—actor Vaani Kapoor in Mumbai, badminton champion PV. Sindhu in Hyderabad, singer Armaan Malik in Kolkata and actor Pranita Subhash in Bengaluru.

William Dalrymple goes further back
Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street
What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans
If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
