For the first time ever on Saturday, a half-hour TV programme called Nibbles and Whisky – recorded live at the Cinnamon Club in London's Westminster - will show viewers how to pair the whisky with Indian food. It will go on air at 6.30pm on digital channel Bollywood For U Music (B4U) on the night of Diwali (October 17th 2009). Telling the story of the important Hindu festival of lights – Diwali – Vivek has created a selection of street food style nibbles from around the Indian subcontinent to match with a range of Scotch whiskies. Savoury dishes such as beetroot mini fritters and an onion salad (Bengali style vegetable cakes with mustard-ketchup) will be paired with Whyte & Mackay 13 years old. In addition, a selection of the whiskies and nibbles will be available every evening at the Cinnamon Club from this weekend until October 24th. The matches will also be available on Whyte and Mackay and the Cinnamon Club's website. The platter containing five nibbles costs £15 per head. Whiskies to match including Dalmore 12 and Whyte and Mackay 13 are extra. Vivek Singh, Cinnamon Club executive chef, commented: "Whisky is a favourite in India and it was fascinating to explore how well Whyte and Mackay complimented modern Indian food. The resulting pairings provide a delicious offering for Diwali, best enjoyed with friends and family." Richard Paterson, Whyte and Mackay Master Distiller, added: "Diwali is all about coming out of the darkness into the light and a lot of people do not know how well whisky matches with Indian food. The programme is full of surprises and I guarantee viewers will learn something new about Scotch whisky."
