Scientist always tries to find different ways to avoid food and just  focus on science. But Food is Science in itself and Indian cooking is  one of the best examples.   Ever wondered why your grandmother threw a teabag into the pressure  cooker while boiling chickpeas, or why she measured using the knuckle of  her index finger?  Why does a counter-intuitive pinch of salt make your kheer more  intensely flavourful?  What is the Maillard reaction and what does it have to do with  fenugreek?   What does your high-school chemistry knowledge, or what you remember of  it, have to do with perfectly browning your onions?  #Biopatrika presents Mentorship session 'All the fun and science of  Indian cooking' with Ashok Krish, author of book "Masala Lab" a science  nerd's exploration of Indian cooking with the ultimate aim of making the  reader a better cook and turning the kitchen into a joyful, creative  playground for culinary experimentation. Just like memorizing an  equation might have helped you pass an exam but not become a chemist,  following a recipe without knowing its rationale can be a sub-optimal  way of learning how to cook.  Exhaustively tested and researched, and with a curious and engaging  approach to food, Krish Ashok puts together the one book the Indian  kitchen definitely needs, proving along the way that your grandmother  was right all along.  Join us every Tuesday at 8:30 pm (IST)  Sessions facilitated by Narendra Chirmule, CEO at SymphonyTech Biologics  Credits:  Promotion audio by: Preeti Singh  Promotion content by: Charu Gupta  Managed by Vikramsingh Gujar, Charu Gupta, Suniana Singh and Shruthy  Seshadrinathan Editing by: Virender Singh  Music: Aditya Sutar (https://www.facebook.com/AdityaFlute/)    #piesoflife #mentorship #food #cooking #science #indian #chemistry #learning #culinary #creative
