Passed down through generations, this humble recipe, made out of various pulses and a nourishing soup stock, served as a lifeline for horsemen. The folklore has it that this tradition found its roots in the era of Genghis Khan, permeating through the annals of history.
The hot pot, initially an ingenious means to feed soldiers among the Mongols, journeyed with them as their conquests expanded. It found its way to China through the Mongols and, via the lineage of Genghis Khan, was bought to India by the formidable Babar and his soldiers made up of Mongols, Persians and Pashtuns. Along its path, this culinary gem evolved and adapted, embracing the locally available spices from regions as diverse as Central Asia, Persia, and India. The result? The Mughlai Hot Pot - a symphony of flavors that delight and captivate your taste buds with an explosion of tastes.
