My cousin Chelna and I both arrived in Bombay late Saturday night. She is getting her masters degree in London; I’m twiddling my thumbs in New York. To celebrate our arrival back into the city of senses, Dadi made us ragda patties- a favorite dish that we share. I really wish I had a recipe in addition to my photos but I missed Dadi cooking, what with all my unpacking and eating chaklis for breakfast. But I promise to make some soon, when I return to New York.
