I think I first fell in love with India and its food in Grandma's Kitchen. It was a magical place. It opened every day with the first light of dawn. Sounds came in cosy, familiar sequences. I lay in bed, half awakened by the whispers of Grandma's Chanderi sari and the sweet fragrance of her jasmine hair oil; by keys clunking and the kitchen door opening with a quiet creak; by the tinkle of cups and saucers, the gurgle of milk, the slurring of tea leaves against a sieve. Cooking started in earnest only after the sacred ritual of tea. The house resounded with the jangle of bangles of Grandma's arms as she flitted from one pot to another, soothing, coaxing and nudging nature's bounty into its proper place.
