Dastarkhwan-e Rampur: A Feast in Rampur
A documentary film directed by Yousuf Saeed, 2023
Duration: 60 mins, Language: English/Urdu with English subtitles
A film tracing the cultural history of north India’s Rampur town through its food and culinary heritage. Among India’s wide variety of regional cuisines, the former princely state of Rampur in north India’s Uttar Pradesh is known for its rich traditional foods, mostly perfected under the patronage of its erstwhile nawabs or royalty. Through this documentary we not only get to taste the delicacies that are still prepared in Rampur but also look for recipes and ingredients that have been forgotten, or could be revived. The film talks to the local food historians like Tarana Husain Khan and the members of Rampur’s nawabi family, besides the traditional khansamas or chefs who prepare various delicious dishes for the camera. Some of the foods unique to Rampur are taar qorma, yakhni pulao, chapli kababs, gulatthi, and shah-pasand daal among others.
