In this episode, the 2Gs, our gourmands and geeks, Sadaf and Archit, speak with Asma Khan, author, chef, and founder of Darjeeling Express. Together, they explore:

  • What made Asma switch from academia to the kitchen?
  • How is Darjeeling Express breaking the barriers and pushing for women's rights and empowerment?
  • What is more important to Asma: maintaining the real flavor of the food or giving it a modern take to make it look more ‘presentable’?
  • The misconceptions around Indian food that she tackled with her supper club
