Inspired By Tarla Dalal, Huma Qureshi's Father Introduces Popular Veg Dish Batata Musallam At His Restaurant!
Huma Qureshi Tarla: Huma Qureshi comes from a family of foodies. Her father started his first restaurant, Saleem's, in 1977, and now there are various branches of Saleem's across Delhi.
Though the brand is known for its meat, vegetarians too have a reason to visit Saleem's now.
Huma Qureshi's father introduces the popular veg dish batata musallam at his restaurant
Inspired by Huma's upcoming film, in which she plays the role of popular chef Tarla Dalal, Huma's father has introduced a new dish, Batata Musallam, at Saleem's.
Tarla was known for reimagining popular non-veg dishes as vegetarian dishes because she was a vegetarian and she didn't want other vegetarians to feel like they were missing out on anything.
For example, she introduced Batata Musallam, which was inspired by Murgh Musallam and in which the gravy remains the same. She just replaced Murgh with Batata (Potato).
And taking inspiration from this is none other than Huma Qureshi's father, who has recently introduced Batata Musallam on the menu, inspired by the late Tarla Dalal. The creation is a tribute to Tarla's diverse culinary tapestry!
So when Huma was in Delhi recently to promote her upcoming film, Tarla, she landed up at her father's restaurant with her co-star Sharib Hashmi to try her dad's version of Batata Musallam.
Talking to her Instagram, Huma Qureshi shared a few naps featuring her father and the restaurant and wrote, "The journey of Tarla Dalal and Saleem's started back in the 70s. Today, 50 years later, looking at these two worlds come together makes my heart swell with pride."
She continued, "After watching the trailer, my dad decided to take inspiration from Tarla Ji and introduce her popular dish, Batata Musallam, at Saleem's. The power of food and how it brings communities together is one of the most beautiful things about India".
