My dinner of Pakistani food (tandoori fish! Pillowy soft naan! Three types of vegetable curries - aloo palak, saag dal, mixed vegetable curry!) made me think of reading something written by South Asian writers...! Let me know your favourites! Mine include Anita Desai, Rohinton Mistry, Mohsin Hamid, Tahmima Anam

AppuNthebooks Since this was kick-started by food, I couldn't help but think of Chitra Bannerjee Divakaruni's 'Before We Visit The Goddess'. Food is an intricate part of the narrative here, and it's simply divine! 8y
