The dish was the winning recipe by MasterChef Asia’s Indian contestant, Priya Barve during the special AirAsia challenge where contestants were asked to prepare their favourite meal discovered on their travels.

Served hot and fresh, this new dish features appetizing flavours that are bound to tantalize the palates of AirAsia’s guests.
