In this very episode, our 2Gs, the Gourmands & Geeks - Sadaf and Archit are hosting Sharanya Deepak, an award-winning writer. She has written on a wide range of food-related subjects including (but not limited to) tandoori momos, custard powder, saffron production and Bhut Jolokia, in publications such as Eater, Atlas Obscura, and FiftyTwo.

In this episode they discuss:

-The origins of momo

-The difference between momo, dimsum, and dumpling

-What makes momos ‘student food’?

-Why are Delhiites obsessed with it?

-Why is the tandoori momo - “bakchodi waala khaaana”?

-The best places to have momos in Delhi

-How small neighbourhoods like Humayunpur make Delhi an elite food city.

So sit back and relax, order your momos (tandoori, fried or steamed) and smear some spicy red chutney while you hear the 2Gs have a blast with Sharanya.
