    FYI TV18 reveals the secrets and stories behind the ‘Recipes That Made Me’

    MUMBAI: FYI TV18 presents a series dedicated to the legacy of food and the power it holds in all our lives. ‘Recipes That Made Me’ has UK-based Chef and Restauranteur Nisha Katona travelling around the UK, meeting diaspora from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. She meets passionate home cooks who let her into more than just their kitchens, and discovers the stories behind their authentic family recipes. These wonderfully warm British Asian families also reveal some of their families’ closely-guarded secrets. For the culturally-curious, the series showcases immigrant culture in all its colourful glory, and shows how food is always at the centre of the emotional experience of building a new home and life. With a sprinkle of friendly banter, the four half-hour episodes also provide a unique insight into why we preserve recipes from our childhood.

    As Nisha meets a host of interesting characters, she realises that the flavours of the subcontinent live on even as people build new lives around the world. Nisha learns the secret to cooking the perfect Punjabi curry, while she discovers the role it played in helping families transition from rural Punjab to the industrial heartland of the UK. She hears stories of diverse immigrant experiences, all of whom are centered around the magic of recipes so familiar that they can whisk one back home in an instant. A young Sri Lankan student deals with homesickness by cooking a warm, soothing sweet-rice pudding called Pongal. Another woman has spent decades trying to guess all the ingredients in her mother’s secret spice mix so she can pass it on to her daughter. And, the experience of cooking tandoori chicken tikka still takes another long-time immigrant back to the communal meals of his childhood in his village back home in Punjab.

    Family recipes passed down through generations are often seen as our ties to the past, a link with those who came before us. Sharing meals with family and eating together is one of the most primal delights known to humans, ahark back to our tribal ancestry. A long-forgotten flavor often evokes vivid memories of one’s childhood and allows us to relive feelings of comfort and satisfaction. Many people painstakingly maintain a family recipe book, preserving a magic formula that lets them access those feelings at any time. As India’s No. 1 lifestyle channel, FYI TV18 decodes this cultural phenomenon among the diaspora that holds their food traditions closest to their hearts.

  • Sony MAX to premiere Khandaani Shafakhana on Nov 22

    Sony MAX to premiere Khandaani Shafakhana on Nov 22

    MUMBAI: Sony MAX presents ‘Khandaani Shafakhana’ as its World Television Premiere this November. The film starring Sonakshi Sinha, Varun Sharma and popular singer Badshah will help break the taboo around the topic of fertility clinics in small town India. The film will premiere on 22nd November 2019 at 8PM only on Sony MAX.

    Produced by T-Series and Sundial Productions and directed by Shilpi Dasgupta, Khandaani Shafakhana is the story of a woman, receiving the ownership to her uncle’s fertility clinic. Despite the social pressures she faces to repurpose the clinic into a business venture more befitting of a young woman, Babita ‘Baby’ Bedi (Sonakshi Sinha) takes on the business with a firm outlook on making it prosper and breaking the taboo around it with the help of Gabru Ghataak (Badshah). Playing the fool, her brother, Bhooshit Bedi (Varun Sharma) adds his quirky remarks along the way to get the kind of popularity his sister now enjoys.

    Speaking a bit about preparing for the role and getting close to his co-stars, Badshah adds, “I had been reading a couple of scripts at the time. Sonakshi has played a very important role in the decision making. She read the script first and immediately had recommended my name. And when I spoke to her, she just made me go for it. They were also extremely patient with me in pulling up the correct shot. Honestly, I did not have to prepare much for the role. I had a certain image of Gabru in my mind from the moment I heard the script and I was just going with the flow. I definitely have a lot of new found respect for film makers and actors after this experience though. I think the whole process was a lot of fun.”

    Speaking about his experience shooting for the film, Varun Sharma reminisces about his experience on why he chose the film, “I was really thrilled when I received this opportunity, because it was interesting as a film and had a very important message and it was about breaking certain taboos. So, I instantly jumped on to it and I wanted to be a part of it. The experience working with Badshah and Sonakshi was fantastic – we connected over music and other conversations, we have become thick friends now. Every day was a lot of fun, one of the tastiest incidents was going to Amritsar for Amritsari Chole and while talking about it now, I recall the taste of it.”
