PODI in Chef’s Kitchen is our way of exploring how PODI is savored by a chef we love! We begin not with recipes, but with conversations.about memory, technique, ingredients, and the many ways food evolves when it travels.
For our first conversation, we sat down with Executive Chef Sahar Siddiqi @diqieats of @chaipanidecatur - one of our fav ATL restaurants!
We spoke about growing up in a Pakistani-American home, discovering South Asian cuisines she thought she already knew, cooking with local farmers, and why the best dishes don’t need reinvention, they need intention. The full interview is now live on our blog. Read it via the link in our bio. 🫶🏽 taken in Atlanta, GA by @diqieats
