Under a sky scorched gold, on a lazy Sunday noon, the plate arrives — not just meal, but a daydream
Gime greens slow-simmered to silence,
Red amaranth leaves kissed by garlic and garden breeze,
Crisp poppy fritters that crumble like childhood laughter,
A tart mango dal, sun-soaked and nostalgic.
Five humble vegetables in a chorus of colors,
Julienned potatoes lost in a dreamy poppy embrace,
And a river-born Katla — 14 kilos of freshness — its belly simmered in radhuni-spiced love.
A tender rooster’s stew, softened by potato, papaya, and the hush of carrot,
A lemon plucked moments ago…
For a leisurely Sunday luncheon:

A fragrant curry of tender fig — an ode to earthy simplicity.
