Who Gets to Shape Indian Food?

In Conversation with Dr. Krishnendu Ray

Sunday, March 22

For the inaugural Aatma Session, chef Keith Sarasin welcomes food scholar Dr. Krishnendu Ray for an intimate dinner and public conversation examining Indian cuisine in America — its evolution, its limitations, and the responsibilities carried by those who cook it.

Together, they will explore:

• What we mean when we say “authentic”

• How Indian food became narrowed in the American imagination

• The tension between preservation and contribution

• What responsible evolution looks like in practice

Guests will share a focused, regionally grounded menu prepared by Aatma, alongside a moderated conversation and time for audience questions.

Thirty seats. One table. One question.
