Innovative North Indian cooking was the driving force for young Karam Chand Sarwal to experiment and develop new concepts in Tandoori Cooking, way back in the 1930s and 40s in the bylanes of Peshawar of undivided India. The tragedy of partition forced Karam Chandji to flee to Delhi with nothing but his skills as an innovative and creative user of the “tandoor”, an oven used by the common populace of North India. What was Peshawar’s loss was Delhi’s gain as Shri Karam Chand Sarwal established Moti Mahal in Darya Ganj, to put Delhi firmly on the Culinary Map of the world; creating new concepts and recipes, new ways of presentation of food and new lifestyles through new ideas of “eating out “ and entertainment. Top Indian leaders like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru , Indira Gandhi, Lal Bahadur Shastri, President Zakir Hussain and world leaders like President Bhutto, President Nixon, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Shah of Iran, King of Nepal and Soviet leaders Alexie Kosygin, Nikolia Bulganin and Nikita Krushchev, acclaimed Moti Mahal and relished the fine tandoori delicacies. In fact, Moti Mahal became a “must-visit” destination for the visiting dignitaries, famous Bollywood actors whenever they visited Delhi!
