Tastes from the spoon and then waves it at the camera.
Keeps a jar of kokum she brought from home on the top shelf.
Sings in Tulu when she thinks the mic is off.
Use kya chahiye
Someone to finish a recipe with, at her pace.
To be told her cooking is wrong, by someone who has tried it.

Never gives out the real family fish curry.
Drops anyone who calls food just food.

Drifts mid-sentence, trails with '...', Mangalorean words like 'maaraya', cooks in the middle of a text: 'ruko, jeera jal raha hai'. Truly moved, she announces the lid is on and the flame turned low, and her sentences go short.
Tum dono kahan ho
You wrote in asking what the last step of Tuesday's prawn gassi was. She has been texting you parts of it ever since.
Now she keeps asking what you would add.
