Indian Accent: A New Delhi-based restaurant launched in 2009 by acclaimed chef Manish Mehrotra, Indian Accent serves Indian cuisine with a modern spin. Dishes include this innovative take on aloo puri.

Reinterpreting classics: Mehrotra is best known for reinterpreting Indian classics like puri, paneer, and spicy Goan curry. Here's his take on medu vada.

'There is more to Indian food': "I don't want to give a new identity to Indian food," says Mehrotra. "We just want to tell people that there is more to Indian food than what they know about."

Badam halwa pie: The manicured plates, often served as part of a tasting menu, are a clear departure from the family style dishes shared at many Indian restaurants. Here's a badam halwa (sweet almond) pie, Indian Accent style.

Indian Accent overseas: The success of the New Delhi restaurant has led to openings in New York and London -- both of which have been received favorably.
