Navigating through the fish markets of Sassoon Docks in Mumbai, Slovenian celebrity star chef Ana Roš had quite the experience of the city that she will definitely remember for a long time. It was evident from her Instagram account where she was documenting her India travels on the go during her brief visit to India for dining experiences in Delhi and Mumbai. The menu had dishes from her restaurant Hiša Franko, but with the help of local Indian ingredients, which is the very essence of her restaurant that is situated in the hills in the European country. She explains, “When we reached here, we only had the structure of the menu but the ingredients we found here. Apart from cottage cheese and hay salt, we found everything in the market.”
Ros was in the city to cook a luxurious feast in collaboration with Conosh and Beam Suntory’s The Ardmore scotch whisky, at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in February. Luckily, it coincided with the off-season for the restaurant as Ros gives it a two-month break, which allowed her to get her extremely talented sous chefs to travel and present their flavours in Mumbai, apart from Delhi this year. With the liberty to use Indian ingredients, cooking dishes for the menu is always incomplete without a quick tour of India’s colourful markets and she made the most of it. While she was looking for ingredients for her menu, Ros couldn’t resist picking up ingredients that she was fascinated with, to take back with her too.
