The kitchen
Indian recipes for the home table
Cooking an Indian table is mostly patience and a warm pan. This is where we keep the dishes we cook at home — from a slow, sealed biryani to a quick palak paneer — each with the music we would have playing while the pot is on, because a dish has an hour just as a raga does.
The menu
Cooking with the day in mind
Every recipe here arrives with the palette we would set behind it: the instrument, the raga, and the volume we would keep it at while the pan is on.
While the pan is on, set the room to match: our morning ragas for breakfast and brunch, dinner candlelight for the evening table, sitar for long dinners, and bansuri when the room should feel unhurried.

Cook to our music
The right music for the pan
Every dish in this kitchen has a tempo. Set the room while you cook — then leave it playing through dinner.
