A lot of what we eat today has been well-documented in ancient and medieval Indian, Mughal and colonial-era cookbooks. India's first cookbook Manasollasa precedes European cookbooks by at least a century. From works such as Soopashastra from medieval Karnataka to Bhojana Kutuhala from erstwhile Maharashtra, these recipes still find a place in today’s kitchens.
Anurag and Priya leaf through different chapters of history where the nawabs and maharajahs were instrumental in the development and preservation of their cuisines. From King Mangarasa who was also a great cook to Mughal era Nuskha-e-Shahajani to Thakur Amar Singh of Kanota who maintained diaries for more than 4 decades with over 44 volumes full of recipes. Between Anurag’s antics and Priya’s interesting observations, this episode is a fun ride touching upon the earliest cookbooks in India.
