Shaan Khan
Restaurateur launches YouTube Indian cookery show
30/ 9/2008
A FLAMBOYANT Harrogate’s chef has transferred his culinary skills to the small screen by launching his very own cookery show.
Shaan Khan, of the Rajput Indian restaurant, has made 11 individual cookery programmes which are now available to view on the internet site, YouTube, under the heading Shaan Khan, New Indian Cuisine.
Already they are proving incredibly popular with more than 11,000 viewings to date.
In each of the mini-programmes, Shaan – who in July was one of only two restaurants from Harrogate to appear at the Channel 4 Taste Festival – demonstrates his own unique style of cooking dishes which have made his venue a firm favourite in the town.
Shaan said: "I love cooking and have done so since the age of 14. I’m always being asked to give cookery demonstrations and YouTube is the perfect medium for me to be able to reach as wide an audience as possible.
"Each video explores a different classic Indians dish and show how they can easily be made at home."
He added: "We have made 11 and if the response is positive I shall make more. Cooking to an audience, be it on the internet or in the restaurant really is a labour of love for me.
"I shall be influenced by feedback and if anyone want’s me to cook a particular dish then that’s what I will do."
The dishes that Shaan cooks include chicken jalfrezi curry, fish karai curry, Goan king prawn curry, chickpea curry, Bombay potatoes and bhindi curry.
Since opening in 1992 The Rajput has won scores of plaudits and awards for its cooking. Shaan’s videos are found at www.youtube.com/user/IndianchefShaan
