NEW DELHI: Actress Huma Qureshi, who is set to essay the role of the highly popular Indian chef Tarla Dalal in her upcoming biopic 'Tarla', comes from a family of foodies. Her father started his first restaurant Saleem's in 1977. Though Saleem's is a non-vegetarian restaurant, Qureshi's father has introduced the vegetarian dish titled 'Batata Musallam', taking inspiration from Qureshi's upcoming biopic and as a tribute to Dalal's creative genius.

"The journey of Tarla Dalal and Saleem's started back in the 70s. Today, 50 years later, looking at these two worlds come together makes my heart swell with pride," Huma Qureshi said.
