Bal, as someone who grew up around Indian inspired and spiced food dishes in Trinidad in the West Indies where there is a very large population of Diaspora Indians, descendents from British colonial times – I am head over heels in love with the wonderful, delicious and inspiring recipes, ingredients and techniques that you bring into my home with your television shows. I am a HUGE curry/garam masala fan and I have taken it upon myself to stock up my pantry with many of the wonderful and intrigueing spices that you use in your own culinary adventures. I have even taken up your practise of NOT peeling my fresh ginger, and instead giving it a fine chopping – skin and all – after a good washing. Thank you Bal for expanding my own culinary knowledge, and as always I look forward to watching you work your magic every week day on my TV at 10:00am East Coast time. You are just simply THE GREATEST!
