Err ….. dunno if someone else pointed this out ….. there’s no mustard in pNach phoRon ….. or is it the Bengali variety of pNach phoRon that doesn’t have mustard?? the 5th component is “rNadhuni” which is usually not available in Indian stores in the US.

Thank you for sharing this beautifull expression of your dreams with us. You went right to my heart. I also carried India in my dreams for many many years and no apparent reason. I finally got there, not so long ago, and found home again. A realm of memories hidden by the fantasy of time. I also don’t know why. But you are right that it doesn’t matter. Keep up the wonderfull writing!
