As the official food taster of the house, I could tell how good (dare I say bad) the food is by its aroma. At home, my wife and I often discussed the ingredients and aromas of the food we enjoy. Until the lockdown, it was she who cooked or else we ordered in. Now with both of us working from home and our favourite restaurants temporarily shut, we teamed up to recreate authentic Indian dishes we love. As we began cooking together, my wife took over the vegetarian domain while I made non-vegetarian dishes. Little did I know, we'd be good at this together. Making these dishes have brought back the taste and with that fond memories.
