When your long-time champion gets a taste of your new dish, and is moved to write a column about it. Thank you @hvgoenka — this is what Chef @varun_totlani and team @MasqueBombay enjoy doing, spark new ideas by using Indian ingredients with a rush of imagination 🙏🏼

Sea Grapes 🌱 🌊 seaweed that pops in your mouth! It has an incredibly juicy and briny taste, and a jelly-like texture that bursts in your mouth. Who would have thought this is found in South Goa?! 🧵

Discovering and pushing the boundaries with ingredients beyond their commercial usage is always a thrilling adventure @MasqueBombay. Take, for instance, Annatto Seeds, a tropical gem with an intriguing history. – at Mumbai, India
You know this tropical fruit from Goa. But maybe not as well we know its commercial form — Sindoor❗️We cooked with it recently but more on that later. 🧵

@akforthevibe I'm glad to hear that @arakucoffeein is causing a stir. When you do visit, don't forget to bring a hefty appetite and maybe the all new ARAKU X @FellowProducts Carter travel mug? It's the perfect complement to our exceptional coffee. 😉
Hi @aditidugar idk what you’re up to with @arakucoffeein but my side of Twitter keeps yammering about it and I can’t wait to go some day ✨
