23.01.2022 Reviving a heritage dish from royal estates of Rampur. Rampuri Taar Ghosth from our new 2020 Spring Summer Confluence Menu. A 24 hrs sous vide lamb shoulder in a rich gravy of Chaar Magaz ( 4 types of melon seeds) with browned onions and saffron. Garnished with Lotus Seeds, Pistachio, Macadamia nuts and Varq (edible silver leaf). ... We thought that this dish would be best suited for a family, or atleast 3 to 4 guests, till a guest proved us wrong by demolishing this all on his own last night, and NO, rest of his friends on the table didn't get even a bite to taste . . . #daana_canberra #southindianrestaurantcanberra #bestindianrestaurant #heritagerecipes #lostrecipes #slowcooking #confluencemenu #modernindiancuisine #innovativeindiancuisine #royalcuisinesofindia #dinner #dinecanberra #canberrafoodies #localscan #chefphotos #cheflife #chefstories #goodfoodcanberra #goodfoodau #agfg #foodgram #f52gram #foodphotography #chefphotography

21.01.2022 Did some say Bunny Chow? YES, we did!.... Bunny chow is South African Indian slang for 'Bania food'.... 'Bunny' comes for the word 'Bania' which is a class of merchants present mainly in Gujarat, India who arrived in South Africa under the indenture migrants era of the British Raj in India. 'Chow' in South African English is simply slang for "food" as well as the verb "to eat". One story claims that a South African restaurant run by Banias first created the dish at a restaurant-café, called Kapitan's, on the corner of Victoria and Albert streets in Durban. You can savour our version of this 'soaking "curry- inside- bread" goodness' as we pay tribute to Global Indian Culinary Heritage to South African- Indian Cuisine this weekend only at Daana! . . .

The Portuguese influence still run strong in the rich culinary heritage of Goa that you will love! And, then we take you on a journey to experience the Bengali Christian Heritage. Again, Christianity in Bengal was introduced by Portuguese in 16th century but was strongly influenced by the advent of the British Raj in India. A unique culture emerged and resultant culinary repertoire will leave you asking for more! So, join us all through December as we celebrate the festive season with our Daana's Festive Bhoj.
