With the Coronation ceremony of King Charles III and Queen Camilla just weeks away, there is growing buzz around the historic milestone with a focus on Anglo-Indian cuisine at the UK’s oldest Indian restaurant.
Veeraswamy, dating back to 1926, is located in the heart of London and has this month been spotlighting the culinary interaction between Britain and India that has shaped UK gastronomy against the backdrop of the Coronation on May 6.
It involves a collaboration between the entrepreneur behind the historic eatery, Camellia Panjabi, and Indian culinary historian and author Anoothi Vishal to explore the royal antecedents of Indian food in Britain that date back to King Charles’ ancestor Queen Victoria in the 19th century.
