November 18 - Lunch. I bring lunch in my tiffin most days. Office staff delivers it hot and plated to my office, so that I can work right on through the day. Luxury? Working through lunch? On the plate, some rice with a hint of saffron. Butter chicken in a velvety mild curry sauce. Dal Makhani, the dark lentils in a rich buttery masala base with ginger, garlic, onions, garam masala, tomatoes, dried mango powder, and plenty of butter or cream. Then creamy raita, the tangy yogurt-based side dish that brightens up the whole meal. Then a Diet Coke, because I'd like to teach the world to sing.
