Breaking Barriers with Asma Khan

Naan Curry with Sadaf and Archit

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
