Indigenous Cheese with Dr. Kurush F. Dalal

Naan Curry with Sadaf and Archit

We don’t think of India when we talk about cheese, but in this special episode, our 2Gs, the Gourmands & Geeks - Sadaf and Archit are going to change that as they explore and celebrate indigenous cheese with Dr. Kurush F. Dalal, anthropologist and culinary Chronicler, and owner of Katy’s Kitchen. In this episode they discuss:

1. Origins of cheesemaking in India

2. The growth of artisanal cheese

3. Does India have a rich cheese-making tradition?

4. Popular and lesser-known Indian cheeses

5. Why are Indian cheeses not as popular as European cheese?

Sit back and relax, and order some cheese (or make one if you’re exceptionally skilled!) while the 2Gs take you on an exploratory journey of local desi cheese beyond paneer and khoya.
