Christmas Dinner: Christmas Lamb with an exotic touch
PRESENTED BY CHEF RAJENDRA SINGH RANGOLI INDIAN RESTAURANT
In some countries lamb is traditionally served at Christmas.
We wanted to add an exotic flavor to all the delicious food for the feast, so we visited Chef Rajendra Singh from the Rangoli Indian Restaurant of Movenpick Resort in Sharm el Sheikh.
He kindly gave us the royal recipe of his famous Lamb Chops Masala; a traditional North Indian dish with aromatic spices.
He started his career 14 years ago in New Delhi and worked in the famous Oberoi and Kempinski Hotels in Mumbai for many years.
Four years ago he moved to Sharm, to Movenpick, where we all can enjoy his delicious Indian food. He prepares the dishes always with care and from the highest quality of ingredients.
“I prefer to speak directly to our guests by the table, in order to help them choose, so we can satisfy all that they dream for dinner. We have a great variety of food, mild, medium, spicy or even vegetarian.” – he said.
The Lamb Chops Masala is a dish that comes from the Punjab region; it was invented for King Sher Shah Souri and became his very favorite dish.
An easy to prepare, but exquisite dish for your Christmas menu everybody will enjoy.
