WHERE WE MET
A big thank you to team Locavore, venue Mahabelly, and hosts Chitra and Aprajita for yet another excellent experience. The staff at Mahabelly was particularly nice, and even helped with cleanup. The smaller gathering turned out beautifully, with longer conversations and bigger portion sizes.

A favourite from Delhi to Amritsar, the Matara Kulcha is a North Indian street classic where matara, a spiced curry made with dried white peas is served alongside soft, fluffy kulchas.
The Aloo Frankie is a street-food classic of spiced potato wrapped in roti. The name ‘Frankie’ was coined in the 1960s by Amarjit Tibb, after his favourite cricketer Frank Worrell.
Phantom cigarettes, brought by co-host Aprajita. The minty, sugary sticks of childhood nostalgia had us all pretending to be grown-ups, one red-tipped candy at a time.

What does local mean to you?
You may as well ask what home means. ‘Local’ is home-grown, something that belongs close to the heart and the hearth, close to your kitchen and memories, an ingredient that comes immediately to hand or to mind.
I once tried Deer with Cranberry Sauce. I loved the Cranberry Sauce.
