I found this intensely moving - a strange mingling of memories of a childhood in Calcutta and a recent trip to Nice, blending with such human kindness and generosity of spirit. Who wouldn't have loved to sit at that table?

I love how different communities of Indian put their own twist to a dish. I have karhi in my home once a week but the Gujarati version is sans vegetables. And I don’t put the kalongi or fenugreek, that’s a Bengali thing to put Panch Phoron everywhere but otherwise it’s almost the same.

Like a soothing balm for known and unknown sorrows, as Anuradha's writing always is ❤️

I loved the way the food tasted different when eaten in a different context, a different sequence. Food is after all solid and gesture, both.
