दादरी में खाने की खोज में: परंपरा से जीविका तक
Volume 3 | Issue 12 [April 2024]

2000 के दशक में जब मैं पल-बढ़ रही थी तो जाड़े के मौसम में मेरी माँ के बनाये हुए साग और मक्की की रोटी को लेकर मेरी दादी की शिकायतें मुझे खास समझ नहीं आती थीं। मेरे लिए तो साग में भर-भर कर डाला गया मक्खन स्वर्ग-सा था। दालों और सब्जियों के स्वाद में मैं कोई फर्क नहीं जान पाती थी, और अब कहीं जाकर ही अपने खाने का जायका ले पा रही हूँ। जाड़े में, घर पर सुनने को पड़ता था तो सिर्फ अनाज में कथित मिलावट का किस्सा, कीटनाशकों का कहर, और मेरी दादी की यादों भरी रट कि ग्राम्य जीवन ही सारे उम्दा स्वादों की कुंजी है। वह सुनाती कि वह कैसे पड़ोसियों के साथ निकल जाती थी पास की झीलों से ताजी-ताजी उपज जुटाने के लिए, ... — तनिष्का वैश

Foraging in Dadri: Where Tradition Becomes a Path to Sustenance
Volume 3 | Issue 12 [April 2024]

Growing up in the 2000s, I never quite understood my grandmother’s complaints about the saag and makki ki roti my mom prepared during winters. To me, the combination of saag with generous amounts of white butter was nothing short of heavenly. Changes in the taste of pulses or vegetables were elusive concepts, and it wasn’t until recently that I began to truly appreciate ... — Tanishqa Vaish

The tea was not good enough
Volume 3 | Issue 11 [March 2024]

Mr. Singh slowed down as the crowd started to get thicker in the market area of Sector 15 but he was still moving faster than the crowd in general, stopping only to look back with raised eyebrows for someone who might be following him. He had been walking briskly, running almost, for the last fifteen minutes or so, crossing the entire stretch of the relatively deserted GV Road. He was in his late fifties and this ... — Rahul Singh

Parotta and Beef Fry
Volume 3 | Issue 11 [March 2024]

‘How far is he?’ Rahul asked. Arun looked at his phone. ‘He’ll be there in five minutes. I’m so hungry.’ ‘Me too.’ Arun felt his mouth water as he thought about the parotta and beef fry they had ordered. He couldn’t wait to dig in. He looked at his phone again. The food delivery app was open, and it seemed like the delivery person was getting delayed. ‘I can’t wait to try it ... — Nileena Sunil

Cooking Banana Flower Usuli and Vengaya Kuzhambu
Volume 3 | Issue 11 [March 2024]

Mangai boiled milk, gazing out of the window. The jasmine creeper by the kitchen ledge was in full bloom. The mild smell of the flowers mingled with the smell of coffee. She rinsed the coffee cup in the backyard tap and walked to the thicket at the far end of the garden. Gathering white and magenta bougainvillea, she arranged them in a dark corner of the living room. Removing all other ... — Uma Gowrishankar

এবার যখন জন্মদিনে জীবনের 24 টা বছর পূর্ণ করলাম তখন হায়দ্রাবাদ থেকে ছুটি পেয়ে বাড়ি এসেছিলাম কিছুদিন কাটাতে । জন্মদিনের ঠিক আগের দিন গায়ে একটু হাওয়া লাগাতে ঢুঁ মেরে আসলাম সকাল সকাল হাটে। হাট, আমাদের গ্রামের বৃহস্পতি বারের হাট । নদীয়া জেলার এক কোনায় এই গ্রামের একটি প্রান্ত মুসলিম জনবহুল, যাহা বটতলা নামে পরিচিত। ছোটবেলা থেকে এবেলা , জীবনে অনেক কিছু পাল্টেছে, কিন্তু কিছু জিনিস যদি কনস্ট্যান্ট থেকে গেছে সেটা হলো গ্রামের ... — Samim Akter Sheikh

Of biscuits, broken and whole
Volume 3 | Issue 10 [February 2024]

At the window of a ground floor flat in Calcutta (this was 1966), a very small child with big eyes sits, biting into a thin arrowroot biscuit. She is engrossed in the life bustling right outside the window. When the crow alights onto the window sill, she freezes. The crow is as large as she is. In a blink, the bird has grabbed the biscuit through the window grille and has made its ... — Manjari Chakravarti

Onam Sadhya
Volume 3 | Issue 9 [January 2024]

What can a Malayali writer think about when asked to write about food and eating? The answer is, inevitably, the Onam festival and its famous feast, the sadhya. A typical image the advent of Onam evokes is that of the sumptuous Malayali sadhya spread out over fresh green plantain leaves, packed with colours as vivid as the shades on a Kathakali actor’s elaborate costume and ... — Shashi Tharoor
