Step into the culinary world of Chef Prathamesh Kumta, Brand Executive Chef at Asha’s, where passion meets creativity. In this exclusive Q&A, he shares his love for fresh ingredients, his philosophy of continuous learning, and his vision for a future restaurant built on simplicity and excellence.
What is your favorite ingredient to work with?
I would say fresh turmeric. It brings a wonderful freshness to food and enhances the overall flavor. It blends beautifully with other ingredients and adds a vibrant, pleasant taste.
What is your guiding principle in life?
My principle is to always keep learning—learning new things, trying new ideas, staying creative, and being passionate about what I do.
What is your dream as a chef?
My dream is to one day open a restaurant with a carefully curated menu—just a few dishes, including some classics and some of my personal favorites—each executed to perfection and truly the best they can be.
