Episode 43: Female Chefs and Modern Indian Cuisine with chef Surbhi Sahni

Surbhi Sahni is a veteran NYC chef and the creative director at Saar Indian Bistro. Surbhi landed her first restaurant job over 20 years ago in an all-female professional kitchen in Delhi before she moved to the US where she juggled graduate work in food studies at New York University with long hours in restaurant kitchens. Now in New York City's dining scene—an industry still dominated by male chefs—Surbhi is known for her creative concepts that blend contemporary and traditional flavors. Her work reflects a deep appreciation for regional Indian home cookery and the generations of women who have contributed to it.
