There were a total of 20,000 applications from Indian chefs and restaurants around the world for the competition. Bangladeshi-born British celebrity chef Tommy Miah founded the International Indian Chef of the Year Awards in 1991. In the final, winner Milon Miah prepared a four-course menu including a dish of venison steak and asparagus with traditional Indian spices. “I wanted to show that Indian food doesn’t have to be a stereotypical curry and rice dish,” he told media after the victory. According to the report, Milon is also keen to “push the boundaries of what we perceive an Indian meal to be”.
