With an uncle who was an Officer in the army, Chef Ranveer had the chance to share meals with soldiers as a child. From the many interesting dishes that he had then, he recreates the phenomenally spicy Andhra style Green Chili Chicken. He also makes a dish that used to be made in the barracks of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. It's a creamy potato and shallots soup inspired by the French soup Vichyssoise. Lastly, he makes Chawal ki Pinni. These ladoos used to be made for Sikh soldiers stationed in France fighting for the British Imperial Army. Talking about sepoy meals and the mess culture in Chennai, Chef Ranveer reminds us that be it war or peace, food writes its own kahaani.
