A burnt aroma, a bit of sizzling sound, and the perfect sauces and side to make up a complete meal. This probably sums up best, a sizzler! Grilled, fried, or roasted and served on a hot metal plate, however, do we know from where it came into inception? The origin of the sizzler mostly dates back to the teppanyaki-sizzled dishes of Japan. From there it moved to the US after World War II, and became most sought after in the 1950s. Sizzlers were most savored in USA (Culver City, CA) in 1958 when the restaurant of the same name, started serving steak and veggies together on a hot plate with gravy poured on. This would keep the meat and vegetables hot for a longer time than the traditional method of serving on a china plate. Sizzler steaks are usually prepared using high-heat to parch the outside and leaving the inside moist. Once plated, the steak lets off a dramatic hiss of steam, which itself is a great show to glance. Sizzler is an open-roasted, grilled or shallow fried piece of meat, chicken, fish or vegetable patty, served with french fries, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, french beans, etc., served on a metal or stone hot plate, kept on a wooden base. The word "sizzler" originates from the word sizzle that one hears when, after heating the dish under a grill, the sauce based gravy is poured on, which dribbles on the hot plate and eventually heats up. In the traditional non-veg version served in India, the dish has sausage, liver, and kidney too. At times, a non-veg sizzler is served with an egg broken on top of the pile, which cooks in the heated metal plate by the time the dish reaches the table. Modern outlets like Kobe chains in India prepare the dishes which are most inclined in keeping up with the modern preferences of people as Indian’s love for sizzlers has remained unaffected throughout the decades.
