Fry the batter to E sharp exactly

In July 1966, en route to London from Manila, the Beatles made an overnight stop in Delhi, their first visit to India. They asked to see the best musical instrument store and were sent to Rihki Ram and Sons, a Connaught Circle fixture since 1947. In a fort-five minute spending spree they bought a sitar, tabla, sarod and tempura, posing for photographs with the staff while fans gathered on the street outside. "The crowd started to be annoying," says Ajay Sharma. "So they asked my father, Bishan das Sharma, to take the intsruments over to their room at the Oberoi Sheraton. When he was there he taught Mr. George Harrison to tune his sitar and Mr. Paul McCartney to tune his tempura. My father made the sitar that Mr. George Harrison bought, and this was the one he would later play on Beatles' records."

Does Mr. Turner need a proofreader or did The Beatles pick up some Japanese food at the Indian music store?
