The tasting

The new kitchen on the Sunday before the opening, Dadi ji and Mummy ji on two stools and Rohan at the stove: the dal first, so good that I'll ask who taught you, the paneer as soft as Dadi ji's, not as much ghee as I put, as much as Hauz Khas can eat, the more ghee the more love, a pinch more salt in the raita, so good that you can put my name on the board, and it's been there since Monday.
