Indian Gastropub also called Progressive Indian or Modern Indian is a divergence from traditional Indian cuisine, which can be a tad intimidating to some diners. The more approachable, Indian Gastropub cuisine is exotic, yet familiar as it combines aromatic Indian flavors with comforting, well-recognized pub foods. Naturally, eggs fit squarely into this trend. Their neutral flavor and innate richness are an idyllic match for the bold spices featured in this cuisine.
TIPS & TRICKS

— Chef Sujan Sarkar
