Meet Kuvam Gujral

The Visionary Behind Moti Mahal

The story of Moti Mahal's Owner enduring success is deeply intertwined with the extraordinary legacy of the Gujral family, whose culinary innovations have shaped Indian cuisine for generations.
At the forefront today is Kuvam Gujral, the great-grandson of the legendary Shri Kundan Lal Gujral, who single-handedly transformed the landscape of Indian cuisine with his revolutionary inventions of tandoori chicken, butter chicken, and dal makhani in the bustling streets of post-partition Delhi.
Kuvam's thoughtful leadership reflects a perfect blend of unwavering respect for his family's culinary heritage and a forward-thinking approach to modern gastronomy, ensuring that Moti Mahal not only preserves its historic significance but continues to evolve as a global culinary icon, beloved by food enthusiasts and critics alike.

The Legacy Continues

A Great-Grandson of Culinary Heritage

Kuvam Gujral carries the immense responsibility of continuing a family legacy that has shaped not just Indian cuisine but the global perception of it. As the fourth generation of the Gujral family to helm Moti Mahal, Kuvam embodies the values, passion, and innovation that his great-grandfather brought to the dining table.
The invention of tandoori chicken by Shri Kundan Lal Gujral in the 1940s wasn’t just a culinary breakthrough; it was a cultural revolution. Kuvam’s upbringing immersed him in this culture of excellence, where food was not just a craft but an art form. Today, as the owner of Moti Mahal, Kuvam is dedicated to preserving these original recipes while modernizing them for contemporary tastes.

The Foundations of a Legend

Shri Kundan Lal Gujral’s story is one of resilience and creativity. As a refugee during India’s partition, he brought his culinary genius to Delhi, where he founded Moti Mahal. His innovations—like cooking chicken in a tandoor—transformed the dining experience and set the stage for Indian cuisine to gain global recognition. For Kuvam, this legacy is a source of inspiration and a benchmark of excellence that he strives to uphold every day.

The Story Behind Moti Mahal’s Iconic Dishes

The Invention of Tandoori Chicken and Butter Chicken

Moti Mahal's culinary legacy is built on its game-changing contributions to Indian cuisine, which revolutionized how the world perceives and enjoys Indian food. The invention of tandoori chicken by Shri Kundan Lal Gujral in the late 1940s introduced the world to the magnificent smoky, charred flavors of meat cooked in a traditional clay oven, elevating a regional cooking technique to international prominence. This groundbreaking innovation was followed by the creation of butter chicken, born from a creative solution to prevent leftover tandoori chicken from drying out – a rich, creamy tomato-based dish that has become a global favorite and a staple of Indian restaurant menus worldwide.
These dishes, alongside other innovations like dal makhani, reflect the ingenuity and passion of the Gujral family. Kuvam has made it his mission to protect and promote these iconic recipes, ensuring that every Moti Mahal outlet serves them with the same authenticity as the original restaurant
