At the age of 20, my maternal grandmother (my ammama) had two children and was running her household. Similarly, in her 20s and early 30s, my mom was cooking her way through three continents moving from India to Ireland and then to Canada, building her career and feeding a family all along the way. Meanwhile, at the age of 20, I am a semi-functioning human, living at home, tackling grad school one reading at a time and not cooking at anywhere near their level when they were my age.
When I was younger, I didn t give much thought to learning to cook my traditional foods, though it s not as if I didn t do it. I spent hours in the kitchen, observing, helping and, I thought, learning. But I don t have the instinctive relationship with our foods that my mom and ammama have I can t just wake up and make a perfectly crispy dosa.
