Unless you’ve been living under a rock that detaches you from social media, you would have enjoyed the banter between star choreographer Farah Khan and her home cook, Dilip who have taken YouTube content by storm. While Khan is taking her home chef to homes of celebrities to learn a recipe, the Mumbai’s homemakers are enrolling their maharajas and domestic cooks into cookery classes to learn international cuisines.
Take Kemps Corner’s Kinjal Dharia, for instance. Her family loves Asian fare, but their home cook, Sujata Dharkar, only knew how to whip up Indian-style fried rice, Hakka noodles and Manchurian dumplings. Since May, Dharkar can roll sushi and stir a mean ramen.
