✓ This is an absolute privilege and honour because in this video we once again get to go into the kitchen of one of our favourite Restaurant's in Leicester; if you recall our last video was of the Indo-Chinese Chef Krishna in action.
As you most probably know by now, we love recording and eating Indian Street Food but in this video we go "behind the scenes" to point our camera in the direction of the Curries section of the kitchen in which Chef Champak Bhai gives us a brief insight into how he cooks up his delicious dishes to a packed and busy restaurant.
As well as all the other ingredients, the chef is using no less than three bir (British Indian Restaurant) base gravies.
It is a real wonder how the chef is so calm and keeps his cool under such a fast paced environment.
Also in the background you can see the other colleagues working their magic such as the tandoori oven master making naan breads and the wok stir fry master cooking up his Indo-chinese dishes.
This is an example of real team work with everyone manning their relevant sections creating and serving up all the dishes with astonishing military precision.
Note that; in Indian restaurants dishes are cooked on a very high heat which delivers a slight smokiness to the cooked food and gives that distinctive restaurant flavour and character to a dish.
The guys here were very busy at most times of my visit and I didn't feel it appropriate or right to interrupt to ask what the recipe ingredients being used were or what exactly was being cooked.
Tiranga Restaurant & Bar is genuinely one of our favourite restaurants whenever my family and I visit Leicester because the food never fails to deliver on the taste factor and the portion size of the food served up is extraordinarily very generous.
A special thank you to the owners Husmukh & Pushpa Patel, Master Head Chefs Krishna & Champak Bhai who welcomed us and graciously allowed us a privileged glimpse into their kitchen to do the videoing.

Video recorded on a very busy Saturday night with a full restaurant on Saturday 6th October 2018, we personally think that Gordon Ramsay (from Hell's Kitchen TV Show) could learn a thing or two in this restaurant kitchen.
It's such a pleasant coincidence that this restaurant shares the same name as the 1993 movie film Tirangaa.
