Lost Recipes of India

Lost Recipes of India, Recovered is a project that is currently under development. This page will receive continuous updates with more research and action in my kitchen.

lost recipes of India

Every 100 years, the food of a region completely change.

India is a vast country and every 100 kilometers you travel, you encounter a new culture, a new cuisine. You encounter the same ingredients used in different ways, lending an altogether different flavor to the dishes.

Over many decades, dishes have either become unavailable from the daily menu of a common man; or have lost relevance because the ingredients are difficult to get by.

Another reason is the extensive preparation and time required to cook the dish.

This is an attempt to recreate some of the lost dishes from Indian cuisine and give them a touch of modernity without impacting the essence of their originality.

This page will see more updates in the next few months. Do keep a watch!

Do you know of a dish that –

  • You ate while growing up but do not get it anywhere in the current era
  • A dish that you heard people ate long before, but never tasted it as it is no longer available
  • A dish that is losing its relevance and place in Indian cuisine

If so, please write to me. You will get necessary credits for the hard work I will do in the kitchen.

Happy Eating!
