In a little apartment in Brickfields, a group of friends have gathered for a meal. At the helm in his tiny kitchen is 70-year-old Mohan Narayanan, who is huddled over a large pan, rapidly stirring the contents. Plating it up, he says – “It is a joy doing all these things. When I feed people, I feel so happy.”
The coterie gathered at the table all nod in approval, as oohs and aahs of pleasure are expressed every time a dish is brought out. For lunch on a random Tuesday afternoon, Mohan has whipped up approximately 10 different vegetarian dishes, including two different kinds of rice!
