Open-roasted, grilled or shallow fried on a hot metal plate, sizzlers are given a thoughtful spins by chefs and restaurants across India It
It can be safely said that the love for sizzlers is unequivocal. There are several stories about their origin, too: while some believe they originated in California, USA, others credit Japan for their invention. Many others propose that it travelled to Mumbai through Firoz Irani, an Irani businessman who ate Japanese teppanyaki done North American-style at a California restaurant and loved the drama of the sizzling hot platter. He started a restaurant called The Sizzler in the 1960s in Mumbai, laying the foundation for the birth of the dish in India.
Unique fusions that have sizzlers at their core are also quite a rage. Take, for instance, burger sizzlers. Wow! Momo has many momo dishes in their sizzler momo menu. Howdy, a cafe in the Capital’s Kamla Nagar serves pipping hot burgers with fries and side sauces as part of their sizzler platter. “I experienced burger sizzlers in Dubai and loved them. We adopted it and started serving them recently. Youngsters love it and it’s gaining a lot of eyeballs,” says Naman Jain, founder, Howdy.
Mostly known to feature meat, the sizzler has also undergone vegetarian twists. “We added a touch of truffle magic and dug up an old African recipe for this sizzler,” says Gaurav Dabrai, founder of the Jaipur-based restaurant Praia, about their Sobo Sizzler that features avocado, edamame and truffle mushrooms.
