Mexican cuisine blends seamlessly with Indian tastes thanks to shared flavour profiles, says Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient Flor Camorlinga, who is hosting a one-night pop-up at Sofitel Mumbai BKC. The chef, who runs Plonk in Mexico City, believes both cuisines celebrate balance — bitterness, chillies, herbs and sweet-sour notes making adaptation

Mumbai has always loved its cheesy nachos and burritos inspired by classic haunts like New Yorker, and in versatile home kitchens, led by ‘maharajs’ and ‘bens’, they’ve been able to tweak recipes to suit Indian palates. “That we love our spice levels, and a balanced sweet-sour flavour,” helps, says chef Flor Camorlinga, a recipient of Michelin Bib Gourmand, who is in the city for a one-night pop-up at Sofitel Mumbai BKC tonight. Camorlinga’s six-dish courses will be paired with a wine programme led by Nikhil Agarwal of All Things Nice.
