Chintan Pandya and Roni Mazumdar on Building a Movement Around Indian Cuisine

Описание: On The Round Table: Roni Mazumdar and Chintan Pandya of Unapologetic Foods (Dhamaka, Semma, Adda, Naks, Masalawala & Sons, and more)
Pots and Platters: From Kolkata and Mumbai roots to Michelin-starred tables in New York City, the journey of crafting unapologetic Indian food
Brunch Thali: Challenging perceptions of Indian cuisine, the power of cultural identity, and why authenticity beats trend-chasing every time
The Unapologetic Experience: Fighting battles within your own community, and building the future of Indian food by empowering the next generation
Kuchh Meetha: The barriers Indian chefs face abroad, and why a Michelin star isn’t the ultimate goal
Peena (Pairing): Navigating restaurant partnerships and the unspoken rules of success
Chakhna: A rapid-fire segment of unapologetic takes on everything from street food to soul food – and the beautiful, messy craft of running a kitchen

This episode is defiant in its simplicity and unafraid to burn the rulebook, and I’m matching that energy with Indian Cookies by Bombay Sweet Shop - part frills, part spice and all flavour!
