Shuvabrato's Odd Pairing: Rice Crafters Ronaldo Rice Poha and Wayward Irish Spirits Tawny Port Finish

Chef Shuvabrato has been working up a sweat learning steps, perfecting salsa, and this dance in the kitchen is no different.
Shuvabrato's Odd Pairing: Rice Crafters Ronaldo Rice Poha and Wayward Irish Spirits Tawny Port Finish

In a busy home kitchen, Rice Crafters’ Ronaldo rice is flattened and smashed, dropped and bathed in a pool of sumptuous coriander infused water.

On the countertop beside the soaking rice is a chopping board, garnished with chopped peas, crushed peanuts, picked chillis, and a handful of aromatic onion flakes.

These ingredients are tipped onto a sizzling pan, and when the decadent aromatics make contact with its surface – whoosh! One large cloud of mouthwatering promise fills the kitchen.

Chef Shuvabrato has been working up a sweat learning steps, perfecting salsa, and this dance in the kitchen is no different. It requires focus, discipline, and above everything – flair!

The pan is rocked, the ingredients tossed, the velveteen rice has entered the cha-cha.

Chef Shuvabrato needs to keep mindful of his simmering dish, but what good is indulgence without a little risk? He cross steps from the cooker, uncorks his favorite bottle, and samples a sup of Wayward Irish Whiskey.

Long days of diligence call for a Tawny Port Finish. Shuvabrato performs a dil que no back to the cooker, placing his glass on the edge of the counter. He imbibes the scent of the cooking Poha - and deeming it complete - removes the pan away from the cooker.

The dish will keep for breakfast and lunch, but forgetting that – it’s time for some dinner. The family gathers around, the chef earns his dues, and awaiting to eat, he takes another sip.

Cooking’s a dance, but what’s the point in learning the steps if you have no one to share them with.

The family dig in – fragrant Poha and Wayward Irish Whiskey provide them the music.
