Fusion of Flavors with Chef Vicky Ratnani

FLO Jaipur Chapter, organized a culinary event with Celebrity Chef – Vicky Ratnani, whose wit and charm has a duality that is reminiscent of natural Indian spice. Intensively trained and extensively travelled.

In the month of International Yoga Day, Ms. Jain added that having Vicky Ratnani, a chef with wild imagination of food, a gourmet & connoisseur, this is a way to spread the message that Indian Food & spices are the best around the globe, their essence, their benefits to health are great in an era where everyone is highly dependent on junk food.

Vicky Ratnani shared his journey on how the initial explosive burst of personality & flair was followed through with a wild imagination, delicately layered with being excitable, entertaining, inviting, spontaneous & devilish. His comfort with all things concerned with ‘food’ brings even the most dull cooking experience to life – dinner parties take on an epic grandeur and picnic brunches become terrifically fun events.

Had a happy learning with Chef Vicky Ratnani ..fusions with twist and some smart tips:-

– Pre planning is key to smart cooking, as he did by making 3 dressings back to back whilst cooking a dish!

– Use of waste- don’t throw the thin left after cutting veggies, use them in making vegetable stock & can be refrigerated.

– Being a Globetrotter he learnt amazing tips from locals like the one roasting whole spices till the aroma makes you mad.

– Recipes are just the guidelines used to learn technique but ingredients should be of your choice and more of seasonal.

– He made unique dishes out of super foods like wraps with Couscous, desserts with Chia seeds and so on..

– Going Vegan, then try replacing eggs with Chia seeds in baking..

– If an Old Indian drink becomes top seller drink in Starbucks USA ( turmeric latte) no sooner we will have our Rajasthani fusion-ed Ker Sangri Putanesca with spaghetti a Star of all the dishes in Italy

– Mixing ‘achar ka oil’ with butter can create a tangy spread
