This week, Roshni had a chance to (literally!) sit around the table with Anjalina Chugani, a Barcelona based cook and author of Rasa: Sabores e historias de mi cocina India and Soul Spices.  Anjalina shares her wisdom on building rasa-- flavor, texture, essence-- sometimes described as the juice or sap. She also speaks to us of building community, locally and globally, how a dosa for breakfast can win her heart, and of course the power of curry leaves.
