Behind The Scenes: A Day In The Kitchen At Swagath

A Day In The Kitchen At Swagath

Introduction

Have you ever wondered how our chefs prepare your favourite dishes? Years of experience and exposure to different cuisines, materials and cooking styles have seasoned our chefs to deliver the best to your plate, making us one of the best fine dining restaurants in Ambience Mall, Gurgaon. 

Well, let us take you to the show behind the curtain and give you a glimpse of how our magicians of flavours prepare the delicacies. Join us today as we take you through the day of our kitchen, which is made up of traditions, heritage, furnace fights, and the aroma of spices day after day. 

Morning Rituals

When the sun rises, our kitchen team gets ready for the day–aprons, gloves and a smile on the face, that’s all they need to deliver the best cuisines to you. The calm air of the morning has the subtle noise of preparations going on in the kitchen. 

Fresh Ingredients Sourced From Market

When dawn emerges, raw materials accumulate at our “dockyard”. The freshest and purest ingredients – from fresh vegetables like tomatoes and onions to fresh fish and quality meats, to be used in cooking are bought from the market. Our chefs check the quality of the raw materials and give them a thumbs up for further processing. 

Chopping, Slicing & Dicing

When it comes to preparing the ingredients, nobody yields the knives the way our chefs do. Every chop, slice, grate and dice is a testament to the experienced culinary staff working behind the scenes. Every piece of ingredient is cut to just the right size, which gives the dish a signature feel.

Grinding Fresh Masalas

Then, the kitchen staff grinds the masalas. The aim is to grind different spices in such a consistency and textures that it adds to the rich aroma of the delicacies. This aroma makes us one of the best ambience restaurants in India.

Preparing Marinations, Base Sauces & Curries

Next comes the preparation for marination, base sauces and curries. This preparation is the soul of taste and texture for a day filled with mouthwatering signature dishes that will be prepared in the kitchen.

An Afternoon Filled With Flavours

Once the flow is set in the morning, the kitchen team starts preparing the delicacies for the afternoon. As the preparations are midway, orders start coming in, and the dining area is filled with the aroma of pure Indian flavours and spices.

Stand By The Countertops

From the late morning preparation till it is lunchtime, activities in the kitchen are on the high rise. Every chef ensures the cooking part is well coordinated and that every meal served is perfect. 

Cooking Stations On Full Throttle

All the cooking stations are at their fullest potential with zero downtime as the executive chef prepares flavourful dishes one after the other. A dedicated chef and sous chef handle assigned parts of the kitchen and set things in motion.

Crafting Seasonal Specials & Perfecting Existing Ones

For the executives and chefs, the choreography of operations is impressive. The experienced chefs are given the responsibility to brew the flavours to perfection in the seasonal special while the sous chefs perfect the usual ones and present them to the customers. Then, these delightful bursts of flavours are served hot to the customers.

Handling The Evening Rush

As the kitchen is brimming with the noises of knives, frying pans, and saucepans, the chefs sense a new wave of orders as the lights turn on outside in the dining area. The chefs prepare their executives for the evening rush.

Dinner Orders Start Coming In

As the natural light dims a little, the kitchen prepares itself for the evening shift. The orders for dinners start coming, and the signature dishes are prepared. In the meantime, our pastry chefs now give the finishing touches to the desserts that they have prepared for the customers.

A Final Push In The End Of The Day

As the lights glow with the giggles of families and friends outside in the dining area, the chefs give their last push of the day and prepare delicacies that guarantee a mesmerising taste for your taste buds. The night full of taste, emotion, and love ends with the last scoop of desserts and sip of drink.

Wrap Up The Show

After each meal finds its way to the customer’s hearts, it’s time to pack up. This part of the day calls for a cleaning of the kitchen and the chefs taking a break and resting. They have engaged in a war wearing their armours of taste and passion. 

When they leave the kitchen and head home, they are aware that a new set of challenges and flavours will be there for them the next day. That’s why the kitchen, which has fallen silent, will come to life again.
