45: Indian food in Singapore, and what makes it distinct from food in India | Dhruv Shanker, Founder of Mad Onion Slicer and the Boring Food Workshops

Dhruv Shanker: “A lot of people did mention that, ‘Oh you know what, you’re not gonna miss Indian food. I’d imagine that the first thing you’re gonna miss is the food, so you’re sorted – Singapore has lots of Indian food.’ So I came with a very open mind, but I realized after moving here that the Indian food here is very different from typical Indian food. And that was fascinating for me because I had not seen that facet of a cuisine that I thought I was quite an expert in.”
