Meera decided to make a classic: and a special Sooji Halwa .
Meera opened the tin to find a unique blend of roasted cumin and a hint of dried mango powder. Adding a pinch to the Rajma, the dish transformed.
The morning sun streamed through the window as Meera stepped into the kitchen for the first time as the family’s new bahu (daughter-in-law). The air was still, save for the hum of the refrigerator and the distant sound of her husband, Rahul, getting ready for work.
The kitchen, once a strange and daunting room, had officially become her home.
