  • How do you define what is Indian food? Is Chicken Tikka Masala Indian? What makes Indian Food.... Indian?
    I travel to Mumbai to sit down with famed food historian and archaeologist, Dr. Kurush Dalal to talk about what makes Indian food, Indian, how grief and love are shown through food and other incredible hot button topics.

    About Me:
    Chef Keith’s exciting take on Indian cuisine uses his passion for the spices and flavors of the Indian subcontinent with fresh, seasonal ingredients from New England farms to create a dining experience like no other.
    Years ago, he dipped a charred piece of bread into a rich gravy that soaked each crumb like a sponge. He raised it to his mouth and closed his eyes, and that is where his journey began.
    Chef Keith is a 5x author, restauranteur, and public speaker who grew up in a small city in New Hampshire in the United States. Growing up in kitchens, he learned how to cook from many amazing Western chefs. Each chef would impart the knowledge passed down to them by their mentors. It wasn’t until much later in life that he would try his first bite of Indian food. He began learning under an Indian home cook and went on to study with food archeologists and historians from across India.
    Keith is the co-host of the More Than Masala Podcast as well as the chef owner of Aatma Restaurant & The Farmers Dinner. He is also the author of 5 best selling cookbooks

    Amazing Keith! What he said about authentic food & appropriation is so true!
    Also about the differences in oils, souring agent & spices..! That really changes the 'cuisine'! I can't even imagine Dahi/yogurt & Mustard oil in any of my meat curries/rassa.. But in the North it's a must! Similarly North Indians don't use kadipatta, mustard seeds, tamarind & kokam, groundnuts etc. as much as we do..! These things make all Indian regional cuisines so unique & so 'tasty'! 😊🤩

    You are “The perfect Student” Kieth.
    A few takeaways from the show for me which I believe.
    Spend 15 days of a year in a different part of the country. The food (even the same dishes) will taste a lot different. Local ingredients and more importantly water make a whole lot of difference.
    Then his take on authenticity is bang on. There is nothing authentic. It’s only good memories associated with that food which makes it authentic and taste the best in the world!!
    Then lastly as Javed Akthar once said if my mother was the best cook and if my father said his mother was the best then the corollary is that we are all eating shitty food. We all know that’s not true… isn’t it?
    Good one Kieth.
    Cheers!

Bro, I wanna say you one thing, You got the best Guru / teacher in your life to show you the goal of your life. Always be happy and spread love Bro ❤🙏

    A lovely interview. When you come for those short stints around India, make sure to emphasize on the linguistic diversity that protects a local cuisine from homogenization, the history of that particular region's external exposures and tools and techniques, and the geographical zone that links it to its supply chain of ingredients. It is always good to remember that India is many countries and many centuries combined in a single package.

      @@MineshShah authenticity is subjective. This is what Kurush ji was mentioning. You may make it in a way that is typical to the dish and it could even be bad but authenticity subjective.
      Yes. It is authentic. Is it good? Maybe. Maybe not.
      The problem we face is when we say if a dish is authentic or not based on who or where a person makes it.
