BBC2 Cooking Showdown winner launches Indian Supper Club

Lorna Nanda Gangotra, who won BBC2’s ‘The Big Family Cooking Showdown’ competition with her sisters in 2017, is to launch an Indian Supper Club on 23rd September 2018 at Darjeeling Express, London. Entitled ‘The Little Indian Kitchen’, the inaugural pop-up features authentic homestyle Indian dishes including batata vada (potato & daal balls), baingan ka bharta (aubergine) and dhai vada (lentil fritters), among other dishes.

“This menu is what a meal in my home would be if I was to cook for family, friends or loved ones”, said Lorna. “It will surely be an unforgettable experience and the start of many more exciting pop-ups to come, I hope. All curries are gluten free and most are dairy free so I hope to be able to cater for vegans and other special culinary needs. All I ask is people tell me about their allergies and intolerances in advance!”
