| Wholewheat spaghetti topped with rawas |
I
didn’t really have a plan for lunch today though I had taken out the rawas (Indian salmon),
which I had bought a couple of weekends back from Poonam at Khar Market and kept in the freezer, and kept it to
thaw in the morning.

I finished writing my weekly column piece for the Times
Kitchen Tales and then went to the kitchen. Our cook, Banu, had just
come to work and she chopped some vegetables for me and boiled the wholewheat
spaghetti that I had taken out. She then left the kitchen while I took out my
pans and cooked the lunch which I had conceived along the way.

Did you read my Times Kitchen Tales which came out in Sunday Times yesterday? It is about eating while out at work. It is based on reflections from a time when I was a market researcher and when I led a life very different from that of a independent writer working from home.
