As a teacher, I'm lavish with my praise. I'm also honest. They coexist and it's beautiful.

I discovered this artisanal lentil ratatouille consumed by the rustics working in the vinyards of Nashik. It is called missal and had with Portuguese bread (pao), probiotic yogurt, onions, and a dry lentil wafer the natives call papad. Missal pao is a hidden gem of Indian cuisine
