From New York, Chef Vikas brings two recipes - the Khasta Kachori and Kashmir ke Os - and shares his experiences and journey through them. No matter how far he may be from India, he has never forgotten his roots; which is why no matter where he goes, he goes by 'beDesi'.
Chef Pooja presents a hack to pack homemade desserts for travel, solves the problem for all those who couldn’t make cakes their travel companion, and tricks everyone with her pumpkin which is in reality a pumpkin mousse pastry. She also gives an interesting insight into making your own moulds.
Chef Vikas is excited to curate something out of the leftovers in his refrigerator and elevates an ordinary Mutton Biriyani into Pardanasheen Biriyani. He takes us back to his hometown, Amritsar, and showcases the Roti Chori that tasted exactly like how his grandmother made it.
Chef Vikas takes a healthier approach to an Indian thali but this time with millets in an Ethiopian platter. On the other hand, Chef Ranveer Brar finds an alternative cooking technique to satisfy the taste buds but not harm the environment by making Laal Maas Tart out of Banana Flower.
Chefs Pooja Dhingra and Ranveer Brar talk about the spices in India and kick it off with a fun tasting game with the home cooks. Chef Pooja prepares Dal Khichdi and elevates it with spices. She shares an anecdote from when she was living all by herself in Paris and how this particular dish was her lifeline to India. She finishes her course with a Strawberry Not Tiramisu Cake. Meanwhile, Chef Ranveer cooks Prawns Koliwada.
Chef Ranveer takes us to his culinary journey from his childhood to his earlier days in the profession. He shares his experiences and how Saro ke Galouti Kebab and Pithode played an important role in building his career.
