From the kitchen
Letters I write when the kettle is on.
A short letter most months. Some a recipe, some a memory, some a refusal.
- ◆ Ritual
My grandmother's methi water — the recipe I still drink every morning
- ◆ The inheritance
What Indian families mean when they say "Yeh toh hamare genes mein hai" — and why my grandmother refused it
- ◆ Remembrance
The paati vaithiyam my mother forgot to teach me (and how I found it again)
- ◆ Letter
Why I wrote these recipes down — a letter to my daughter
- ◆ Remedy
On haldi doodh — the one thing every Indian kitchen has done right for five thousand years
