Kundan Lal Jaggi worked for Mokha Singh in Peshwar, Pakistan. Moti Mahal was the first to dig up a tandoor right in the middle of the eatery and since then Peshawar was introduced to the culinary art of tandoori chicken by them. This was a success and soon there was in demand for Tandoori at social gatherings and wedding feasts where they would use an improvised tandoor. After the partition in 1947, Kundan Lal Jaggi and Gujral fled to India. Uncertainty faced them as they had neither money nor the resources to start afresh in life. They dropped off in Delhi to try their luck. Roaming the streets, they chanced upon an abandoned ''thara'' in Daryaganj, and then considered a newer part of Old Delhi. Kundan Lal Jaggi and Gujral then started Moti Mahal, Daryaganj with another partner, Thakur Das Mago. Moti Mahal further went on to invent butter chicken and dal makhani.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.penguinbooksindia.com/en/content/moti-mahal-cookbook-0 )〕 This brought about a revolution in taste and a place on the International Gourmet Map.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dailyexcelsior.com/moti-mahal-offers-complete-tandoori-cuisine/ )〕 Thus was born the Moti Mahal Restaurant, which contributed significantly to putting India on the food map of the world. Indian leaders like Jawahar Lal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Zakir Hussain among various world leaders like Benazir Bhutto, Richard Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi etc. have visited Moti Mahal to sample Kundan’s innovations – its tandoori delicacies on various occasions. And M. Maulana Azad, the great Muslim leader, reportedly told the Shah of Iran that while in India he must make two visits - to the Taj Mahal and Moti Mahal. Later in 1970`s Kundan Lal’s son Mr Nand Lal 'Bila' Gujral, upon the exit of Thakur Das Mago from the partnership, expanded Moti Mahal Delux in south Delhi to establish Moti Mahal Delux Chain of Restaurants. However, Gujral's grandsons Monish and Ashim Gujral have significantly expanded the chain in the last decade via the franchisee model. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moti Mahal Delux」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
