Celebrity chef Maneet Chauhan blends southern culinary traditions with the spice, aroma and flavor of her native India at Chauhan Ale & Masala House in Nashville, Tennessee.
Celebrity chef Maneet Chauhan’s innovative fare has struck a chord in the Music City. Born in India and rising to stardom in New York City, the celebrity chef has orchestrated an ensemble of innovative flavors at Chauhan Ale & Masala House in Nashville, Tennessee. The hook to Chauhan’s groove is the deep full-flavored sweet-or-savory rhythm of southern culinary traditions, backed by the high notes of classic Indian spices and aromas.
Gulab jamun are Indian donuts, essentially. Chauhan soaks them in saffron and cardamon, then bakes cheesecake around the mélange of sweet flavor and intoxicating aroma. 'I grew up with gulab jamun and absolutely love them,' said the chef. 'And when I was in New York, I became obsessed with New York City-style cheesecake.
She left New York City for Nashville just as the city was about to take off as the nation’s hottest new good-time party spot and relocation destination. 'Nashville is becoming a foodie city because the audience we have here is receptive to new flavors.' Chauhan actually helped contribute to the Music City’s rise on America's hit list.
Naan, the traditional Indian bread, is served with beef short rib and French onion. Fried chicken and waffles, a southern breakfast/brunch staple, is served with Indian-style dosa, mango slaw and masala syrup. Even the otherwise all-American burger gets an Asian makeover, with house-blend Indian spice rub, Amul cheese, green chili bacon and masala fries. 'Nashville is the Music City not only because of the incredible talent, but it's also because of the audience,' said Chauhan.
