Considering this is the mango season and a topic in your newsletter, you should check out this beautiful Podcast on Mangoes and some sweet Hindustani classical. It's called Aam Naama.

Another lesser-known fact about mangoes: after 44 years of enjoying them as one of my favorite fruits, I became deathly allergic to them four years ago. It's a bittersweet moment whenever people talk about mangoes; I have had to learn to love the discussion vicariously. :)

Thank you for the education in rasas! I did not know that Indian culinary taxonomy. That makes me want to come back for another visit and taste everything I'm able to eat with a newly aware palate. :)

Cheers, my friend!

Kate - not being able to eat mangos is a tragedy - I have to say that. But when you come over, I will find alternative flavors of desi food that you can enjoy even when mango is not an available option. :) Cheers Kate
