Part 2/8:
Our journey begins in Mumbai at Masque, hailed as the best restaurant in India for three consecutive years. Here, food connoisseur Nick is joined by popular YouTuber Carryminati, and they dive into a remarkable ten-course vegetarian and non-vegetarian tasting menu.
The meal starts with pani puri, a famous Indian street snack, but with an adventurous twist: the non-vegetarian version includes sautéed red fire ants, adding a unique burst of citrus flavor. As they navigate through diverse courses—ranging from corn-based creations to brilliantly crafted dishes using local ingredients—they find joy in the balance of flavors and textures presented in each beautifully plated dish. The culinary artistry is undeniable, showcasing the depth and vibrancy of Indian cuisine.
