What is your signature dish?

That undoubtedly is my Pistachio Crusted Beef and Lamb kebabs glazed with a Pomegranate Mollasses and served with a jalapeno tzatziki!

Who is your culinary inspiration?

My first mentor in the culinary world, Chef Satish Shenoy. He is someone who truly insipired me to think outside the box. He is a true pioneer, leader and a mastermind! I have always tried to emulate him as Ive grown in this field.

What would you do with the $25,000?

The money gets divided in 3 parts. I will donate 10,000 to a The Burnt Chef Project which is a global social enterprise dedicated to eradicating mental health stigma in the hospitality industry by providing free support, education, and training. I will invest 10,000 in dividend stocks. I will splurge the remaining 5,000 and upgrade the kitchen in my newly purchased condo and make it 🔥!
