What does meeting your idol really feel like? Chef Manu Chandra would know! The classically trained European chef, who is the brain behind some of India’s most acclaimed restaurants like The Fatty Bao, Monkey Bar and more, had the golden opportunity to cater for the legendary rock and roll band – Deep Purple. Chandra, who also operates Single Thread Bespoke Catering – created some delectable dishes in honour of the iconic band performing in Bengaluru.
The mouth-watering feast, which consisted of a delicious burrata-tomato salad, an assortment of sushi, cold cuts, canapes, pao bhaji, nalli nihari and bite-sized desserts was conceptualised by Chandra’s team. Sharing what looked like a fanboy moment between the star chef and the band’s bassist, the former shared a black and white picture of the two of them engrossed in deep conversation, while Glover held on to a cup of coffee.

The spread also included thick hot chocolate topped off with rainbow sprinkles and tiny meringue bites, pork belly with a crisp crackling and vindaloo gravy. In the endearing behind-the-scenes glimpse that Chandra shared on social media, he captioned the photograph of himself and Roger saying, “After a nourishing dinner of a fresh hot dog, some Nihari and rice by @singlethreadcaterers. I ask Roger Glover of @deeppurple_official if this was his first Indian tour. “I came here before you were born” he says. So you’ve seen a lot change I ask. Son, I’ve seen the whole world change, I’m actually a 102, but they don’t tell you that. Also I don’t usually eat before going up on stage, but this stuff…. Overwhelmed by how grounded these guys, who shaped rock and roll, and generations across the globe actually are.”
