Celebrity Chef Maneet Chauhan always had a passion for all things culinary – and it definitely shows.
After working for eight years as the executive chef at Vermilion, an acclaimed Indian-Latin fusion restaurant in New York, she was the first Indian woman to ever compete on the hit US show The Iron Chef and is now an all-time judge on Food Network Channel’s show Chopped. “[I’m also] in the process of opening a restaurant in Nashville called Chauhan Ale and Masala House,” Chauhan says.
Chef Chauhan shares some of her delectable recipes with DARPAN from her first cookbook, Flavours of My World. Taking inspiration from her travels, Chef Chauhan places an Indian twist on classic dishes from around the world, melding familiar Indian flavours in surprising and delicious ways
