In town to promote Chowder,a new show on Cartoon Network,Desai said,”We discovered that most children in India were experimental to the extent of dishing out their own stuff. They were open to trying out new cuisines,though everyday roti-dal-rice remained the staple favourites.”

“Besides,it was relevant in context of the new show,in which the protagonist Chowder forces himself on a reluctant chef for apprenticeship. He messes up everything in the kitchen though at the end of every episode the result is palatable,” said Desai,clearing the air on Indianisation of all the shows with: “It is to maximise viewership that we dub all our shows in Hindi. But DTH users have the option of seeing the original English version too.”
