Food Tourism: Discussion on From Beer to Butter Chicken session
This session of Food Tourism: From Beer to Butter Chicken discusses how food and drinks can serve as a cultural bridge between two countries. Moderator Krishna started this session. He said that the identity of a country is determined not only by geographical boundaries but also by its kitchen. Taking this point forward, Chef Kunal Kapoor and winemakers Alexander Heinrich and Thomas Diehl told how food tourism can further strengthen the relationship between India and Germany. He said that when the flavors of different cultures come together, it not only creates a new dish but also gives rise to a new experience and a different feeling.
Chef Kunal Kapoor spoke about Indian food
Generally, in other countries, there is a perception about Indian food that Indian food is spicy and spicy. But in this summit, Kunal Kapoor has responded to this notion by saying that not every Indian dish is spicy or spicy. People often think that the identity of Indian food is only butter chicken. But it is not so at all.
People are liking Indian food all over the world
Chef Kunal says that Indian food varies according to region, season and culture. If someone says that Indian food is the same then it is not so. Now Indian food has created its own identity even at the international level. Many countries around the world are liking the taste of Indian food. Whereas earlier people used to say before eating Indian food to make it less spicy, now people want to taste the real Indian food.
@ChefKunalKapur responded to @Krishnksays question about pairing #Indiancuisine with #Germanwine: “Initially, it was challenging, but gradually we understood the nuances. As I mentioned earlier, Indian food is inherently complex, making wine pairing quite difficult at first.Even pic.twitter.com/r8EpKfb9qm

Indian chef brought Indian taste to foreign countries
Kunal says that Indian chefs working abroad have played an important role in bringing the taste of India at the international level. They prepared it in different ways, due to which even foreigners have started understanding that Indian food is not just spicy or spicy but is also full of taste and variety.
Winemaker Thomas Diehl said this
Let us tell you that winemaker Thomas Diehl is very fond of Indian street food. He is fond of tasting new tastes. During this committee, Thomas also expressed his views regarding Indian food. He told that, I have been to India many times just to roam the streets there and taste the food. Taking this point forward, DL said about wine that wine tourism is now increasing rapidly in Germany. This is the reason why now his winery is making vegan and alcohol free wine. So that everyone can enjoy it.
@ChefKunalKapur shared his insights at #News9GlobalSummit2025saying, “Calling Indian cuisine one entity is like calling Europe a single country. Indian food is often stereotyped as being overly oily and spicy, which is not entirely true. Indian cuisine is incredibly complex, pic.twitter.com/MK7IaYmS1x

Germany becomes the new center of wine making
Winemaker Alexander Heinrich said that Germany has now become not only a beer country but also a wine making center. Wine making was started from Strasbourg. Our wines are different from all others. We create wines that pair perfectly with light, soft and spicy foods. The low alcoholic and light tannin wines made by us are a perfect combo with Indian foods. When these two come together, a unique taste is obtained.
