What’s the one ingredient you can’t live without?

Its salt. I love experimenting with salt, it is very understated. It also has an amazing dimension of its components, I experiment with 30 different salts and then come up with a new dish, I just can’t live without salt.

What do you always avoid ordering on a menu?

I generally ask the waiter what’s the most popular dish on the menu, and I never order them, because that is what everyone does. You don’t get a chance to try something totally new and discover new favourites. Indian food has just been such a big curse because everyone who walks in and order Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Naan, Roti and Tandoori Chicken, and I feel that’s obstructing them to discover more regional foods and to find new favourites, so I would never order things on the menu which are the most popular.
