The cuisine of India is as rich and diverse as her people and has its influences from all over the Ancient world. The first Mongul Emperor, Babur, a direct descendant of the Mogul conqueror Genghis Khan and the Turkish leader "Timur the Muslim" arrived from Afghanistan in 1526 and founded the dynasty on the ruins of the old sultanate of Dehli. Under the rule of these cool Caliphs came a period where beauty and elegance became in vogue and flourished. The Sultans of Style nursed a passion for panache that was reflected in all aspects of life. Fair to say if you were looking for "Rogan rush" in the 16th century, then Dehli was the place to be. To make these spices sparkle a radically new form of cooking was introduced by the chefs of imperial food courts. Commanded by their masters to bedazzle and enthral with their culinary tactics, the chefs created Dum Pukht, the ultra chic "Food of the Kings" known to the pundits as the near mythical Grand Cuisine of India.
