If the popularity of tandoori sushi and noodles-stuffed samosas teach us anything, it’s that Mumbai can go ballistic and wacky when it comes to experimenting with Asian food to suit the desi palate. If you’re at chef Shruti Chadha’s Korean Supper Club dinner in Andheri, however, expect nothing short of a five-course meal of authentic Korean home cooked dishes. “The idea is to educate people about traditional Korean methods of cooking through authentic offerings that they might not find in the city,” she explains.
From foraying into Korean fermentation practices following Internet trends during the lockdown, the chef has come a long way. “Kimchi, the fermented vegetable side-dish, sparked an interest that continues to drive me even today,” Chadha recalls. After multiple visits to South Korea to experience the food culture first-hand, and cooking her way through Korean cookbooks at her Andheri residence, the chef now opens the doors to other foodies like her every weekend.
The curated menu that the chef has crafted for meat eaters and vegetarians alike, follows the five-course structure. “To build a hearty appetite, we begin with banchans, or appetisers that include samples of kimchi, radish salad and Korean style aubergine,” she reveals. It’s the first course, however, that has the most takers, we learn. Grilled or barbecued meat, served with napa cabbage, lettuce, kimchi and traditional sauces are a hit with the visitors. “They’re devoured within seconds,” Chadha laughs.
