British
Asian chef gets worldwide TV show
‘Cooking
isn’t Rocket Science’ is a 40-episode
cookery series on British food which will air
on NDTV’s soon-to-be-launched Lifestyle channel.
British
food has never been considered gourmet –
in fact, popular perception is that it's quite
the opposite. But the show's host, Manju Malhi,
one of Britain’s most popular chefs, reveals
that there's more to British food than the standard
fish and chips. Reputed for being a unique cross-over
gourmet, Manju unveils her tempting recipes for
bangers and mash, lamb chops, a typical English
breakfast, muffins, the Queen's tea, mango crumble,
baked beans balti, couscous salad, the Scottish
dessert Cranachan, and a lot more.
What
distinguishes this show from other cookery programmes
is that it will teach viewers how to prepare classic
British dishes with readily accessible local ingredients
in India. Mangoes will replace traditional raspberries,
soya chunks will replace tofu, chicken sausages
will replace pork sausages, and lamb and mutton
will replace beef - while retaining the essence
of the original dish.
After
converting the British into loyalists of Indian
cuisine, watch Manju return the favour by setting
up kitchen in India to whip up near-authentic
British cuisine with a delectable desi tadka.
About
Manju Malhi:
Manju
Malhi was raised in North West London where she
grew up surrounded by Indian culture and traditions.
However, she spent several years of her childhood
in India where she explored and experienced the
vast and varied cuisines of the country. In her
cooking, she draws on her past and combines it
with the realities of urban Western life and has
come up with her own unique Brit-Indi style of
food. It's easy Indian home cooking. She won the
BBC Food and Drink's competition in 1999, and
cooked with Antony Worrall Thompson on BBC2 and
was invited back a second time.
Manju's
‘Simply Indian’ series was aired on
the Taste Network in early 2001. Her award-winning
book 'Brit Spice' was published in 2002 by Penguin
Books, and the paperback version in June 2003.
She has also appeared amongst several other programmes,
on ITV's This Morning, Channel 5's Open House
and The Terry and Gaby Show, Sky One, UKTV Food's
Good Food Live and BBC2's Saturday Kitchen.
Her
latest book covering regional Indian home cuisine
was published by Mitchell Beazley in 2004 and
is entitled 'India with Passion'. Manju is now
working on her third book and exploring more ideas
on simple yet delicious dishes which she hopes
will encourage more and more people to experiment
with spices and make more Asian delicacies.
She
has also been asked to create the concept of a
'British' restaurant in Delhi. She loves hosting
cookery theatres around the country promoting
the easy ethos of Indian home cooking.
