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.
