With many Indians travelling around the world, they have now embraced the unique cuisines not only in different countries but also in India. While Chinese cuisine is more familiar because of its unique proximity and Indo-Chinese cuisine, Japanese cuisine has found its place in India over the years. It can be seen in the number of Asian restaurants sprouting not only in metros like Mumbai but also in other parts of the country. The fact that the cuisine is served at luxury properties from the hills in the north to the southern parts in Bengaluru and Chennai showcases its far reach beyond.

Every year, International Sushi Day is observed on around the world. When one talks about Japanese cuisine, it is the first dish that comes to our mind. While sushi has had its fair share of misconceptions over time, many people are slowly enjoy the unique flavours of the Japanese delicacy. Traditionally made with vinegared  rice along with seafood and vegetables, it has come a long way to be interpreted in a whole new way across countries.

In India, chefs are not only celebrating global ingredients but also reimagining sushi with Indian ingredients. To celebrate the dish, mid-day spoke to some of these chefs and asked them to share their most innovative recipes for sushi, and they obliged. They not only share vegetarian but also non-vegetarian options -- which include truffle, but also Mexican and Goan flavours -- that will change the way you perceive the dish.
