Fine Dining Indian Food in London at Baluchi with Chef Santosh Shah

In this video we speak to Santosh Shah, recently appointed executive chef of Baluchi, at LaLit's London Hotel.
Santosh speaks to us about how he went from a small village in Nepal though his education and training in India, and eventual career in the UK, working at some of London's most prestigious Michelin Star Restaurant and chefs, such as Atul Kochhar at Benares and Raymond Blanc.
Santosh explains how Baluchi not only produces some of the best traditional and authentic Indian recipes in London, but how he is pushing the envelope in this cuisine and constantly adapting and creating new progressive dishes.

[@soniathapa5881]

@@Sticklemako bro there is an agreement between India and Nepal since the time of Gandhi. India said they want gorkha regiment for their country. It's not that we Nepalese are going there by our own. India is asking thousands of gorkhali from Nepal every year for their gorkha regiment. So, go and tell modi to remove gorkha regiment. If he doesn't remove it then you will know that Indian army is nothing without gorkhali. Modi also knows that Pakistan will win the fight for sure if they remove the gorkha regiment from India. This is the power of we gorkhali and we are proud of it. Jaya Nepal 🇳🇵
