The day begins not with an alarm, but with the sound of chai clinking against steel glasses. My grandmother (we call her Dadi ) is already up, boiling loose tea leaves, ginger, and cardamom. The smell drifts into every room like a gentle wake-up call.

Every Indian kitchen has a round steel container holding seven different spices. The daily ritual involves "Tadka"—tempering mustard seeds in hot oil until they pop. That sound is the Indian version of "Lunch is ready."
