Your dishes are known to be easy and quick to make; can you tell us about your food philosophy?
I believe that cooking should be made easy, so that one enjoys it more. There are two ways of cooking: one is the technical one with lots of ingredients in it and the second is a simple one with less things put in. A housewife, a student and newbie chefs enjoy the easier ones, as the flavours are simplified and at the end of the day it makes life simple and one has more time to enjoy food.

According to you, which is easier to cook — Indian or Western dishes?
I have stayed outside India for a long time, so I like European food; of course, Indian food is also one of my all-time favourites. And cooking Indian food is more difficult. I also enjoy eating mix and match food.
