It’s October, and the air conditioners and fans are working overtime here in Mumbai. With the change in weather, there have been a few changes in my kitchen–gone are the warm, fuzzy recipes that made you want to curl up in your bed with a book. What’s here is fresh, zingy, light food. Food that requires minimum time in a super-sunny kitchen.
Come, look what we’re eating!
