Crescendo of the Adrak Chai. This moment excites me equally everytime it happens.

Moments before this golden paste gets transformed into a vada.

Maybe this is how I will remember my kitchen for all my life.

Mother making batter for Desai Vadas, a very peculiar dish associated with my community from South Gujarat

How long before I can bite into the Sabudana vada?
5 minutes more

Lemongrass and mint leaves, a herb pairing that make your chai go wild.

A rainy afternoon with steamy dosas.

It's my favourite from the lot.
