We talk a lot about Indian food, her perspective on passion for cooking, and her Ted Talk. We also discuss her novel, "Foursome", and how she abandoned the idea of a cookbook to write fiction. It was a lot of fun to talk with someone with a truly inspirational story!

Kiran and Hanik talk about what podcasts we listen to, the NBA season kicking off, cheese, and other random nonsense. Kiran also shares his take on the first Indian movie he's watched in years and the stunningly realistic protagonist. If you wanted an in depth discussion about serious subjects, then this probably is not the episode for you :).
Happy Diwali!
