As part of our ‘What’s In My Dabba?’ series, we get a glimpse into friends’ kitchens, as they share judicious spicing of favourite dishes and tips inherited from elders.
This month, we join Rege Batchu (), the chef behind beloved recipe hub Bad and Bhaji – home to all manner of glorious Punjabi dishes, lovingly passed down.
Rege tenderly recollects early food memories, his Mama-ji central to each rhythm and ritual: Smoking ghee. Fresh herbs perfuming countertops. Pressure cookers joyfully whistling. Along with revealing tips for saving over-salted dishes and expertly blooming (not burning) spices. He also shares a comforting recipe for warmly spiced Butternut Squash Sabji.

What if we spent more time enjoying time? Unbridled moments of beautiful things, much like the care, attentiveness and love that goes into making a slow, rich cup of chai. This weekend, wander over to to do exactly that with . The wonderful team has taken over the iconic space on Chiltern Street, to create beautiful moments that invite you to waste time, deliciously.

Step outside and it hits you. That thick, heavy air. The kind that makes you move just a little bit slower, seeking out the shady side of the street. It’s a heat that feels fiercely familiar- more than a little bit like a sweltering, mid-afternoon in Bombay.
Swing on by to the cool, shaded sanctuary of any Dishoom café, pull up a chair, and let us revive you with the ultimate, time-honoured antidote:
Mango Kulfi - Satin-smooth, sweet real mango.
Pistachio Kulfi - Creamy, proper pistachio.
Malai Kulfi - The champion, with a gentle hint of caramel.
Step inside, find comfort in the cool, and let a kulfi work its magic.

We are delighted to welcome mango season back to our Dishoom cafés and Permit Rooms for a fleeting moment. Join us from May 4th to June 7th for our seasonal special and limited-edition mango goodness before the moment slips away.
Chef Arun has been roaming Kingsbury Market on a tireless quest for the very best mangoes, searching for that specific, sun-drenched sweetness that defines the season. It is a pursuit of memory of juice-dripping chins, sticky fingers, and the quiet act of love found in a bowl of perfectly peeled cubes. Amongst the crates and the chatter, he has found exactly what he was looking for: the Alphonso (the King) and the Kesar (the Queen).
Keep an eye out for all things mango in the weeks to come.
