Q+A Kitchen Conductor

Q. Has it been a long time since you were last in India? I've come to India several times earlier, but it's the first time I'm here to cook since I temporarily closed down my restaurant in Bangkok. I'm coming with my team of 14 to create the full Gaggan experience. No other Indian chef has come back to do a restaurant.

Q. Is this a food residency or something more? For most people, it's a food residency. But some will know that it is more than that. I'm testing the waters and want to know how many magarmachchhes (crocodiles) are in it.
