I tasted it at my friend’s home. It was quite different from regular mutton chops that I have in the streets of Kolkata. This specific preparation was tangier, sweeter, and sharper – all at once. I asked for the recipe. She said, “It is very easy. Just follow your guts.

It may be wrong. Even I cannot make it perfectly all the time.” That inspired me a lot and so I tried to make it at home. I failed a couple of times at first but her encouraging words kept me going. Eventually, I got it right. Now it is what I make when I want to remember that learning never really ends.
