No 40-step French technique, no "pinch of this." Just the dals, sabzis, and chutneys your naani actually made — written the way she'd have told you, over chai.
Every good kitchen has one dabba with everything in reach. Ours works the same way.
Baby potatoes fried till the skin blisters, then simmered in a yogurt-fennel gravy that stains everything a happy red.
Black lentils that need patience more than skill. The butter goes in twice — once to cook, once to finish.
The one condiment that can rescue a boring plate. Coriander, mint, and enough green chilli to keep you honest.
Every recipe here started as a scribble in a steel-cased diary — measurements in "andaza," instructions in half-finished sentences only my mother understood. We're translating that, one dish at a time, without losing the andaza.
