It focused on helping new immigrants in Canada find their feet, get off to a running start and ease their assimilation into Canadian life. A big part of the platform were conversations, community and support. Though the startup stopped growing once Aditya moved to Seattle, WA - it remained alive in the form of several discussion groups and online communities. About Aditya Mehta: Aditya is a Bombay boy who has lived in Austin, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Vancouver before making it to his current home in Seattle. He has degrees in marketing, urban planning, real estate and strategy but has spent his career in financial services, social media and now real estate - mostly as an entrepreneur and partly as an employee at Amazon. He balances Indian, Canadian and American culture, loves helping those who are new to North America and looks forward to the interesting stories that his interview guests bring each week. When not podcasting, he is helping his wife Prachi build her pharmaceutical business or hanging out with his son Arjun.

Alejandro Medina, its owner, brings Indian culinary heritage to Santa Barbara while championing regenerative farming and natural wines.Inspired by his mentor, Rajat Parr, Alejandro developed Bibi Ji to honor generations of Indian culinary tradition. The restaurant's name itself, a term of endearment for a respected female figure, reflects the homage paid to grandmothers and mothers who passed down cherished recipes. Alejandro meticulously recreates traditional Kolkata dishes using local, sustainably sourced ingredients.A major pillar of Bibi Ji's philosophy is its dedication to natural wines. Contrary to the belief that Indian cuisine pairs best with beer, Alejandro curates an extensive selection of natural wines. “People care so much about where their food comes from, but we often feel sometimes that it's overlooked about what they're drinking,” Alejandro said. His goal is to highlight wines that are farmed and crafted with the same care as the restaurant's ingredients.Beyond the plate and glass, Alejandro takes sustainability a step further by prioritizing regenerative agriculture. The restaurant sources from farmers who practice organic and biodynamic methods, ensuring the land remains fertile for future generations. “I'm here to do my best part that I can for future generations and giving back to the land in any way that we can,” Alejandro shared. Even seemingly small choices, like harvesting cover crops for use in dishes rather than allowing conventional farms to spray them with pesticides, contribute to his mission of reducing waste and environmental impact.Bibi Ji is currently raising capital on SMBX to support its growth. Alejandro and his team recently relocated the restaurant, doubling its size and requiring significant renovations. The funds will help expand operations, restructure loans, and sustain their commitment to quality and sustainability.Alejandro's passion for food, wine, and environmental responsibility has positioned Bibi Ji as a culinary destination that respects tradition while pioneering change. By blending heritage recipes with forward-thinking sustainability, he is reshaping perceptions of Indian cuisine while making a positive impact on the planet.tl;dr:Alejandro Medina honors Indian culinary traditions at Bibi Ji, blending authentic flavors with sustainable, local ingredients.The restaurant features natural wines, challenging the notion that Indian food pairs best with beer.Alejandro prioritizes regenerative agriculture, working with farmers who use organic and biodynamic methods.Bibi Ji is raising funds on SMBX to support its expansion, operational growth, and financial restructuring.Alejandro's superpower is cultivating connection, using food and hospitality to bring people together and build community.How to Develop Building Connections Through Food and Hospitality As a SuperpowerAlejandro Medina's superpower is cultivating connection—an ability to bring people together through food, wine, and hospitality. “For me, it's really about bringing people together, kind of forgetting what's going on in the world, just for that moment in time that we're having a meal or we're enjoying a bottle of wine,” he explained. His restaurant, Bibi Ji, isn't just a dining experience—it's a communal space where people feel welcome, appreciated, and connected.Illustrative Story: Alejandro's commitment to connection extends beyond his restaurant. Growing up in a Bolivian-American family, he learned the importance of giving back and strengthening communities. One of his most impactful experiences was donating clothes to local villages near his family's ranch in Bolivia. This formative act of generosity shaped his perspective on hospitality—not just as a business, but as a way to create meaningful relationships and uplift others. At Bibi Ji, he carries this philosophy forward, treating every guest like family and ensuring his restaurant serves as a hub of warmth and belonging.Tips to Develop This Superpower:Embrace Open-Mindedness: Alejandro believes that learning never stops. Be curious about different cultures, foods, and perspectives.Prioritize Genuine Interactions: Whether in business or daily life, take the time to connect with people on a personal level.Practice Generosity: Give back in small or big ways—whether through hospitality, community service, or simple acts of kindness.Create Shared Experiences: Whether it's through food, conversation, or storytelling, find ways to bring people together in meaningful ways.Stay Present: Engage fully in conversations and interactions, valuing each moment as an opportunity to strengthen bonds.By following Alejandro Medina's example and advice, you can make cultivating connection a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileAlejandro Medina (he/him):Owner, Bibi JiAbout Bibi Ji: Bibi Ji is a modern Indian restaurant with a low-intervention wine program.Website: bibijisb.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/bibijisantabarbaraOther URL: smbx.in/wbibBiographical Information: Alejandro Medina is the Owner and Managing Partner at Bibi Ji, Santa Barbara's first modern Indian restaurant and natural wine bar.

Currently serving a tasting menu in her residency at Fulgrances Laundromat in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, (though March 1, 2025), Rasika attended hotel management school in India, worked her way up from commis to chef de partie at The French Laundry, and attained the position of chef de cuisine at Mourad in San Francisco. (As if that weren't enough, she also recently competed on Top Chef.) After relocating to New York City in 2024, Rasika is currently planning a brick-and-mortar incarnation of her pop-up Mythily (named for her grandmother and North Star). The restaurant, like the pop-up, will offer a personal and progressive take on Southern Indian cuisine (specifically the food of Tamil Nadu), and Rasika is refining dishes and menus in her current residency.

This is a Vintage Selection from 2005The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys finally meet chef Floyd Cardoz of the acclaimed Tabla restaurant in New York City. Floyd talks about his experiences that brought him to where he is today and how he melded cuisines of India and the ingredients available in the New York region to create the first New York Times three-star Indian-fusion restaurant.

He left a legacy of passion for his craft and his heritage.“Everything I put on my menu is not created from my head. It's all created from my heart. It's related to an experience I've had in the past, something I've eaten in the past, something I've seen in India. So everything I do has a story attached to it,” Floyd Cardoz on The Restaurant Guys 2005BioFloyd Cardoz was born in India and received a bachelor's degree in biochemistry before exploring culinary school and moving to New York City in 1988. After working with chef Gray Kunz at Lespinasse he began working for Union Square Hospitality Group. He collaborated with Danny Myer to open Tabla in 1998. Cardoz was a four-time James Beard Award nominee and the author of two cookbooks. He is winner of season 3 of Top Chef Masters.

Immigrants to any country learn to adapt. So it was the case for food writer and cookbook author Khushbu Shah's family who came to the States from India. Hoping to recreate dishes from home, but not finding the ingredients they needed, Shah's family like other members of the Indian diaspora, used the ingredients on hand — Bisquick for khoya an ingredient in the dessert Galub Jamun, peanut butter in chutneys, or Cream of Wheat to take the place Upma, a polenta-like dish. What emerged was a distinctly Indian-American cuisine, which is the focus of Shah's cookbook, “Amrikan.” We talk to Shah about her favorite recipes and her tips for turning pantry staples into Indian comfort meals. Guests: Khushbu Shah, author, "Amrikan"; food writer and journalist; She was most recently the restaurant editor at Food and Wine magazine.

In this fifth episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I take you on a whirlwind adventure to Kenya, sparked by a my friend Hatim's unique African Indian wedding, a detour through Dubai, and the logistical puzzle of getting there from Singapore. The journey involves meticulous flight planning, a brief but packed stopover in Dubai—complete with a less-than-ideal airport experience and a SIM card surprise—and a leap into the vibrant, albeit chaotic, welcome of Kenya. The flights, ranging from the comfort of Singapore Airlines to the surprising pleasantness of flydubai, set the stage for a series of events that promise cultural immersion and the warmth of rekindled friendships. The journey then transitions smoothly into Kenya, where the wedding festivities await. The anticipation builds with every flight segment, and the narrative weaves through the complexities of travel, the nuances of international friendships, and the universal excitement of attending a wedding—a celebration that transcends borders and cultures, setting the scene for an episode filled with adventure, connection, and discovery. I'll dive into the second leg of our adventure in the next episode, where we embark on an unforgettable safari, encountering zebras, lions, and a host of incredible wildlife, followed by a relaxing weekend at Chale Island and a whirlwind, yet fascinating, 12-hour sightseeing layover in Dubai.

Today on our episode #370 of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer is joined by Barkha Cardoz, a culinary entrepreneur, who is the Founder of Cardoz Legacy LLC, and Co-Creator of FC + B&B Masalas, as well as the Co-Founder of The Young Scientist Foundation. Born in Mumbai and raised in Bhopal, Barkha first stepped into hospitality in Mumbai at The Institute of Hotel Management, where she received her culinary training and met her husband, the late renowned chef Floyd Cardoz. In the 2010s, Barkha worked alongside Floyd at their beloved restaurant Paowalla–which later became The Bombay Bread Bar–supervising operations and supply. In 2020 she launched a collection of masalas in partnership with Burlap & Barrel, and in honor of Floyd's legacy. They are in every way an extension of her kitchen--each is an iteration of a spice blend Floyd and Barkha developed and used at home, to make dinnertime easier. She has a new book, “With Love & Masalas: Everyday Indian Recipes from My Kitchen to Yours” (Burlap & Barrel; 11/19/23). Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to cook with love; Industry News on David Chang “pausing operations” at Momofuku Ko as featured in The New York Times; and Shari's Solo Dining experience at The River Cafe, chef/owner Ruth Roger's iconic Italian restaurant in London.

On Play Me a Recipe, your favorite cooks will walk you through their most treasured recipes, offering all the insider tips, stories, and tricks you won't get from a written recipe—and you'll be right alongside them, every step of the way. If you're cooking along, here's the recipe we're making today. Go ahead and grab the ingredients below before starting the episode.RecipeServes 2 Peanut chutney1 cup unsalted, unroasted peanuts1/2 teaspoon cumin powder1/2 teaspoon red chile powder1/4 teaspoon saltIndian peanutty noodles6 ounces udon or soba noodles2 tablespoons vegetable oil1 cup broccoli florets, chopped into 1-inch pieces1 cup red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces3/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, divided2 tablespoons peanut chutney, prepared above1 to 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, to tastePeanut chutneyRoast the peanuts in a 350°F oven (or toaster oven, like I do) for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the nuts have turned dark brown, a shade darker than golden brown. Keep an eye on them! (After 3 minutes, turn the pan in such a way that the peanuts in the back come to the front.) Turn the oven off, take the peanuts out, and let cool.In a food processor or blender, blitz all of the chutney ingredients (cumin powder, red chile powder, and salt) along with the peanuts into a coarse powder. Keep in a zip-top bag or tightly sealed jar.Indian peanutty noodlesCook the noodles according to the instructions on their packet and set aside. Keep half a cup of water in which you boiled the noodles.Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet. Add half of the scallions and let cook for a minute. Add broccoli and sauté for 5 minutes. Feel free to add broccoli stems too. Follow with red bell pepper for about 3 to 4 minutes. (We want both these vegetables to lose their raw flavor, yet still have a bite.) Feel free to substitute with vegetables of your choice as long as the vegetables retain some bite, shape and do not become mushy. Carrots, red onions, snap peas, zucchini, water chestnuts, baby corn, mushrooms, French beans are great substitutes. Add peanut chutney and mix well, followed by the soy sauce, and sauté till the sauce coats all of the vegetables.Add boiled noodles and mix till the noodles are coated evenly with the soy sauce/peanut chutney mixture. Pour some of the starchy noodle water if you like your noodles wetter.Garnish with rest of the scallions and serve hot with fresh red pepper chile garlic sauce on the side.Is there a recipe you'd like to hear us make?

Much ado about masalas—a deep dive into Indian Cuisine Come join us as a maven of masala, Nandita Godbole, explores India's complex and delicious regional cuisines through its culinary backbone – its masalas (which, by the way, are a vast number of spice mixtures ground into a paste or powder for use in Indian cooking). Nandita will be dishing out a buffet of savory information on the micro cuisines of India, giving us a healthy serving of geopolitical histories that have shaped regional food identities. And she'll liberally season her talk with her own culinary anecdotes. Nandita is drawing her story from her newly published, seventh cookbook, Masaleydaar: Classic Spice Indian Blends. She says it's her “love letter” to the micro cuisines of India, The book explores nearly 50 spice blends and offers more than 100 recipes. Our own Culinary Historians member, Colleen Sen, an internationally renowned Indian authority herself, wrote the forward to the book. She calls it “a brilliant culmination of a lifetime of research, practice, thinking and talking about Indian food, an encyclopedia of information about spices and Indian food in general that can serve as a valuable reference work.” Nandita Godbole: instagram: @currycravings My Website: www.currycravingskitchen.com Instagram (food): www.Instagram.com/currycravings Instagram (ceramics): www.Instagram.com/Mrttika_bynandita Digital book is available on Kindle: https://bit.ly/3EhhwJw GooglePlay/Android: https://bit.ly/3Pk039W iBooks: https://bit.ly/45tPh6p Print books can be purchased directly from my website: www.currycravingskitchen.com/inventory I have uploaded the presentation itself into Google Drive, it is here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1tbjdZy-HQEvon7vWYV4G6JKAtCNbCkSP/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109443269166842455632&rtpof=true&sd=true Recorded via Zoom on August 30, 2023 CONNECT WITH CULINARY HISTORIANS OF CHICAGO ✔ MEMBERSHIP https://culinaryhistorians.org/membership/ ✔ EMAIL LIST http://culinaryhistorians.org/join-our-email-list/ ✔ S U B S C R I B E https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Y0-9lTi1-JYu22Bt4_-9w ✔ F A C E B O O K https://www.facebook.com/CulinaryHistoriansOfChicago ✔ PODCAST 2008 to Present https://culinaryhistorians.org/podcasts/ By Presenter https://culinaryhistorians.org/podcasts-by-presenter/ ✔ YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Y0-9lTi1-JYu22Bt4_-9w ✔ W E B S I T E https://www.CulinaryHistorians.org
Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 15 Gluten Free Indian Cuisine Indian food is one of my favorite ethnic dishes, so I'm so glad that East Indian cuisine is mostly naturally gluten free! Besides naan bread, and some samosas - which are the East Indian version of a burrito - most other dishes do not have gluten. Today, I'll give you information on popular Indian dishes that typically do not contain gluten that I've eaten in the past. As always, check with the chef or cook at the restaurant you're eating at to make sure your food is safe! Be Aware of Gluten in Lentils Because the FDA allows up to 10% of another grain in lentils, I try to avoid lentils as much as possible. However, there are several dishes, including the crisp wafer Papadam, that are made from lentils. The one time I was sick from Indian food was cross-contamination of the lentils in the dish. Four Types of Indian Cuisine based on Region North Indian cuisine is known for its robust flavors and extensive use of dairy products, such as ghee (clarified butter), yogurt, and paneer (cottage cheese). Popular dishes include biryani, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, naan bread, and various lentil-based dishes like dal makhani. South Indian cuisine is primarily vegetarian and is characterized by its generous use of rice, lentils, coconut, and spices like mustard seeds, curry leaves, and red chilies. Popular dishes include dosa (fermented rice and lentil crepes), idli (steamed rice and lentil cakes), sambhar (spicy lentil soup), and rasam (tangy soup). East Indian cuisine is known for its seafood, sweets, and subtle flavors. Rice and fish are staple ingredients in this cuisine. Popular dishes include macher jhol (fish curry), sandesh (a sweet made from cottage cheese and sugar), and rasgulla (a syrupy dessert made from cheese curds). West Indian cuisine is known for its spicy and vibrant flavors. It heavily relies on ingredients like garlic, ginger, and chilies. Popular dishes include pav bhaji (a spicy mashed vegetable curry served with bread), vada pav (a spicy potato fritter sandwich), dhokla (steamed fermented chickpea flour snack), and various Gujarati thalis (platters) featuring a wide variety of vegetarian dishes.

"Challenging the Appalachian narrative, one story at a time!" In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with the Appalachian, the Filmmaker, the Writer and Storyteller - Elon Justice. Upon working on her graduate school thesis, she came to the realization that "stories - Appalachian stories - have power." Understanding the perceptions that were often laid upon her accent and geographical upbringing, through her studies and work she wanted to find a way to "tell stories that smash stereotypes, uplift unheard voices, and give an honest, nuanced glance into what it means to be from the mountains" - hence the Appalachian Retelling Project was born. Take a listen as Elon describes how media can play a role in exploiting an entire region and in turn how media can play a role in changing those generational misconceptions. Local media, local stories are as important to tell from within as they are to share with others. You might even hear Elon's (not so secret) love of "Hillbilly Days" (If You Know You Know) and Neil's thoughts on his one recommendation of the year as well as some that are having "a bad day."

Go ahead and grab the ingredients below before starting the episode.RecipeServes 2 Peanut chutney1 cup unsalted, unroasted peanuts1/2 teaspoon cumin powder1/2 teaspoon red chile powder1/4 teaspoon saltIndian peanutty noodles6 ounces udon or soba noodles2 tablespoons vegetable oil1 cup broccoli florets, chopped into 1-inch pieces1 cup red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces3/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, divided2 tablespoons peanut chutney, prepared above1 to 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, to tastePeanut chutneyRoast the peanuts in a 350°F oven (or toaster oven, like I do) for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the nuts have turned dark brown, a shade darker than golden brown. Keep an eye on them! (After 3 minutes, turn the pan in such a way that the peanuts in the back come to the front.) Turn the oven off, take the peanuts out, and let cool.In a food processor or blender, blitz all of the chutney ingredients (cumin powder, red chile powder, and salt) along with the peanuts into a coarse powder. Keep in a zip-top bag or tightly sealed jar.Indian peanutty noodlesCook the noodles according to the instructions on their packet and set aside. Keep half a cup of water in which you boiled the noodles.Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet. Add half of the scallions and let cook for a minute. Add broccoli and sauté for 5 minutes. Feel free to add broccoli stems too. Follow with red bell pepper for about 3 to 4 minutes. (We want both these vegetables to lose their raw flavor, yet still have a bite.) Feel free to substitute with vegetables of your choice as long as the vegetables retain some bite, shape and do not become mushy. Carrots, red onions, snap peas, zucchini, water chestnuts, baby corn, mushrooms, French beans are great substitutes. Add peanut chutney and mix well, followed by the soy sauce, and sauté till the sauce coats all of the vegetables.Add boiled noodles and mix till the noodles are coated evenly with the soy sauce/peanut chutney mixture. Pour some of the starchy noodle water if you like your noodles wetter.Garnish with rest of the scallions and serve hot with fresh red pepper chile garlic sauce on the side.Is there a recipe you'd like to hear us make?
