Chefs Special Series - Vikrant Inamdar

By

Hi everyone. Hope you all are doing good.

The next culinarian of the Chefs Special Series is Vikrant AKA Sanjeev Inamdar.

He is a graduate in BSc Chemistry from RLS college, Belgaum. Vikrant is a former badminton player & has represented Karnataka University at All India level. After a long career of 36 yrs in Sales & Marketing, he is now following his passion for cooking.

1. When did you start your cooking journey?

As a foodie, the journey subconsciously started from my childhood days when my mother cooked Maharashtrian cuisine for everyone. During my career in Sales and, Marketing, I had the opportunity to try a variety of dishes in different regions of Maharastra. It further expanded my interest in learning and understanding the intricacies of different cuisines.

Professionally I started cooking on a commercial basis in October 2015. In January 2016, I was awarded the Star Chef of Belgaum at the Rotary Annotsav cooking contest. It further boosted my confidence.

 

2. What is your motivation?

My passion for serving tasty and healthy food to customers encourages me to cook different Indian dishes. The positive feedback from clients is an added motivation that pushes me to strive for more. Sometimes a negative rating allows me to learn from my mistakes & improvise for the future.

 

3. Your favorite cuisine & dish?

As a food enthusiast, I have been diligently following Indian cuisine. Punjabi, Rajasthani, Andhra, Gujarati, Malnad & Chettinad region, and Lucknowi cuisine are my preferences. My favorite dish is Biryani. Having mastered the art of making Dum Biryani the authentic way, my customers call me "Biryani wale Inamdar."



 4. Have you done any courses?

No, I have not undergone any courses to learn the art of cooking. My passion and love for cooking have driven me to learn from books on culinary art. More than mugging a recipe, what interests me is the intricacies of the process. However, I have done an online course on Diet & Nutrition and, I am a certified Nutritionist.




5. Tell us about your business.

The registered brand name of my catering business is "Swaad Yatra." We serve Biryani, Kebab, Curry and, Kheema only on a Kg basis, with a minimum quantity of any dish starting from 1/2 kg - 3 kg. I plan to launch my Spice powder mixes which I use for cooking & also ready-to-cook gravies for some famous Indian dishes.



It was a great experience getting to know about Vikrant and his journey as a culinarian. I wish him the best of luck in all his upcoming ventures.

My first blog - Divine Aromatics

By
"Food is the ingredient that binds us together."  With this quote, I commence my journey in food blogging. Why a food blog? That is what I had been asking myself for quite some time. Cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, electric cars being currently discussed around the globe, to choose a food niche was a daunting task. As an Engineer and a German linguist, there were series of topics that I could have chosen. But when it comes to food, there’s a different level of dopamine released in my body. As an Indian, I consider myself lucky enough to have tried diverse dishes, and the best part is, there’s always something different to try. South Indian breakfast, North Indian meals, delicious snacks, Rajasthani cuisine, Bengali cuisine, the list can go on and on. Now the important question - Do I cook? The answer would be Yes and No. I cook on occasions whenever I come across any new recipe. Last year when I was left alone in Pune due to lockdown, there was no choice f...

Chefs Special Series - Nidhi Bhati

By
Greetings everyone! I hope you are doing great. It has been a month-long break from blogging and, I am happy to be back once again with the Chefs Special Series.  We have with us Nidhi Bhati, a food enthusiast, and a cooking expert. Nidhi is a B.Com graduate and explored her interest in cooking after marriage. Her passion for cooking and experience inspired her to come up with her venture, Assorted Platter.    1.  Tell us more about Assorted Platter. I love this name. Why settle with one thing when we can enjoy assorted? I believe coming up with this venture was not random. It was always in my subconscious mind that I would be beginning with something of my own. The love and emotion that I put into cooking were well observed and acknowledged by my family members. I have always experimented with new recipes instead of sticking to one specialty. Hence the name Assorted Platter. At Assorted Platter, we offer a variety of menus. Breakfast dishes, lunch, snacks, dinner, d...
