A modern approach
Executive chef Jeewan Singh presents five Indian grill-based dishes with a modern twist
Combining creativity and innovation without disrupting the authenticity of the dish is how executive chef Jeewan Singh describes his specialty. Presenting a menu based on grills with a modern approach is what he has designed at Ignite, Bar & Grill, Courtyard by Marriott Pune Hinjewadi. Singh says, “I present a dish with a creative, modern and innovative approach without compromising on its authenticity and origin. Before finalising a dish, there are many thoughts and planning involved. Once we are satisfied, we present the final dish.”
Born in Almora and brought up in Rishikesh, chef Jeewan specialises in Indian cuisine and prepares some of the most mouth-watering delicacies including the succulent Nalli Nihari and the fragrant Nargisi Kofta Curry. Combing his expertise and creativity, Jeewan’s signature dish is the popular Martaban Gosht, which is lamb cooked in spices and red chilli. The dish derives its name from the glazed earthenware container it is served in, called Martaban, which is used for storing pickle in almost all North Indian homes.
Singh says, “Authentic grills with a choice of marinades and also an Indian twist to the entire menu and inclusion of kebab with an innovative approach is what we offer.”
