MUMBAI, INDIA - NOVEMBER 18: (EDITOR NOTE: This is an exclusive image of Hindustan Times) Chicago-based food historian and writer Colleen Taylor Sen tasting Pav Bhaji at Swati Snacks, Tardeo, on November 18 2016 in Mumbai, India. Colleen said, It amazes me how much has changed in India since then. Twenty years ago, you couldnt find restaurants serving Bengali food and now, there are places serving Bihari, Mizo and Assamese food, which is revolutionary because people are beginning to discover other cuisines. She also said that shes surprised at how a simple dish can have so many variations. This has been one of the most interesting culinary adventures Ive had. Im going to try pav bhaji everywhere I go now. (Photo by Aalok Soni/Hindustan Times via Getty Images)
