Cultural Cognizance has made me the Reluctant Raconteur


What are the various flavors of Curry Flavors? Sure there are the ones that emanate from the zesty ingredients we use or those that ooze from the simple cooking processes. But to make Curry Flavors more experiential, more enriching and definitely more empowering, there are the cultural flavors that I introduce to each session.
What is the significance of a banana leaf within the Indian cultural ethos or why is the ‘haldi’ (turmeric) ritual significant on an Indian Wedding?
What is the true reason that makes the simple ‘bindi',  an Indian Woman’s concealed energy and why are the ornate head-to-toe jewelry pieces that an Indian bride wears, her currency to ultimate freedom?
Through story-telling and dialogue, Curry Flavors seeks to explore and unravel the true significance of some cultural elements. The universality of the themes will surprise you, so come for the food but stay for the awakening!
