At Home with Chef Suvir Saran
This is my third visit to the wonderful Masala Farm home of Suvir Saran and Charlie Byrd but the first time that Suvir cooked dinner, and what an extraordinary treat it was. Here it is in all its glorious detail!
SUVIR PREPARING THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN EVER
COLORFUL VEGETABLES READY TO ROAST
COLESLAW WITH THE LAST OF THE GARDEN'S CHERRY TOMATOES
AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS FRIED CHICKEN THIGHS
THE ROASTED VEGETABLES
CRISPY CREAMY POTATOES AND GARLIC
When it was time for dessert Suvir and Charlie turned to each other with a questing look as to what the other had prepared, which turned out to be nothing. No problem: Charlie dipped into his special stash of sour cherries that had been mascerating in verjuice for many months and also located a container of crème fraîche. Served in lovely glass goblets it was so tangy creamy luscious/fabulous I forgot to take a photo!
When I returned home,I lost no time in making those addictive crispy creamy potatoes with roasted garlic. The recipe is ini Suvir's most recent book Masala Farm cookbook.
