He called it the ‘jaan’ (spirit) of the dish. Many make the mistake of making it by hand, like using a whisk, but the chef believed the batter turns out better if you use a mixie. The consistency too matters, as he asked to look for the batter to have ‘somewhere in the middle’ texture, not too thick or too thin. Next, he commented on amchur chutney, highlighting it as good for the stomach, acting as a relief on monsoon days for the stomach.Adrija Dey’s proclivity for observation fuels her storytelling instinct.
