This episode of Chewed Up brings bold flavor, vibrant energy, and global inspiration as Michael Symon, Carla Hall, and Clinton Kelly welcome the one and only Maneet Chauhan in Miami at the W South Beach. Known for her fearless approach to flavor, Maneet delivers a masterclass in transforming familiar dishes into something extraordinary.

The centerpiece of the episode is her Indian-inspired coconut ceviche, where fresh fish is “cooked” in citrus and layered with garlic, chili, onion, and coconut milk. But the real magic comes from the finishing touch — a sizzling tadka of toasted spices, curry leaves, and aromatics that elevates the dish into something deeply fragrant, complex, and unforgettable.

Beyond the food, the conversation dives into Maneet’s culinary journey, the cultural depth of Indian cuisine, and how food connects people across languages and borders. The crew also plays a lively round of Chew It or Screw It, shares travel bucket list destinations, and wraps with a bright, effervescent Key Lime Cardamom Fizz — complete with a dramatic champagne saber moment. This episode is a celebration of fearless cooking, cultural fusion, and the joy of sharing food.
