Mumbai: A Mumbai restaurant will be offering a special curry named ‘Chicken Sanju Baba’ free of charge to all patrons and fans who celebrate Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt’s release from prison on Thursday, February 25.
Mughlai eatery Noor Mohammadi Hotel in South Mumbai will offer the signature recipe which was created by Dutt Sa’ab to inaugurate the new family section of my restaurant in 1986. Since then, he visited regularly to relish the special non-vegetarian and other food items we served here especially his favorite Nalli Nari,” Hakim said.
“It was only much later in 2010 on one of his visits that he created a special gravy-based chicken dish for us and we named it after him as ‘Chicken Sanju Baba’ on the menu card. He also gave me his written consent to prepare and sell it to our patrons,” said Hakim, who is the third generation owner of the restaurant opened in 1923.
Hakhim continued,“he is a big star, he could have easily sold the recipe to some five-star hotel and earn royalty for his whole life. But he gave it to our humble place. The least we can do is celebrate his release differently along with his fans and patrons on Thursday.”
As per the plans, the restaurant will serve ‘Chicken Sanju Baba’ to all patron and fans free from noon till midnight on Thursday as Dutt walks out to freedom after nearly three years in Yerawada Central Jail in Pune.
