Of rice, greens and avarice


WE were in India last month and stopped at a restaurant for lunch. The naan there apparently was to die for. The server (as waiters are called) wanted to know what curry we wanted, pointing to the menu.

I ordered mutton but my wife wanted whatever gravy that would come with the naan. She was in for a shock. There was no free gravy. You had to buy it.
