Salmon Do-Peyaja Recipe: from Chef Murad

The late Chef Murad, was a man who with art and culture on his mind. At age 19 when I bunked at his place, while looking for an apartment, I learnt a lot from his habits and his self. His beautifully decorated home, his ear for pure Indian Classical music, and his love for good food.

I had just started cooking then, and his methods have carved some of my habits for ever. I will never forget his Jhinga Daal, which I never got the recipe for. But here is one of the ones, I watched him make, one of my favourite dishes of all time.
