By far my favourite food during the monsoon was a plate of shami kebabs. Had with a cup of tea, the kebabs were hot from the frying pan, spicy and melted in our mouths into a medley of flavours.

P.s I’m going to be at the JW Café on Monday the 27^th; come on over if you want to taste my (if I do say so myself) delicious shami kebabs and talk to me about the wonderful memories they evoke.
