Episode 45: Nixtamalisation, with Lila Taqueria’s Shaw Lash

Co-host Devina Divecha sits down with Shaw Lash, chef and co-owner behind Dubai’s Mexican favourites, Lila Taqueria and Lila Molino. They talk about the challenges of getting tortillas right — from sourcing the right variety of corn to to grinding it down to make fresh masa for tortillas — how they’re partnering with farmers in the UAE, and the interesting confluence of Indian and Mexican cuisine. We also have the scoop behind naming the restaurants after Lila.
