India’s vast array of spices can often be overwhelming, and even for those familiar with fenugreek and asafetida there’s always more to learn. Guided by Michelin-starred Manjunath Mural, discover techniques for extracting maximum flavor from spices and the secrets for perfect curry pastes. Your garam masala and panch phoron will thank you for it!

 Fueling the world’s second most populous nation, Indian food is renowned for its heartiness – but rarely as haute cuisine. Manjunath Mural – the first Indian chef to receive a Michelin star for an Indian restaurant in Southeast Asia – is on a mission to change this. Experience Mural’s exceptional Indian with goat’s cheese pomegranate and avocado Mumbai chaat, and semolina-crusted barramundi with Mangalorean gassi sauce.
