Together, they explore the importance of breakfast, how switching from tinned to dried chickpeas transformed Colline’s cooking, and why cooking is about more than just feeding—it’s about connecting. Sasi reveals the joy and versatility behind dishes like dosa and biryani, why rice flakes (poha) are a game-changer for health-conscious eaters, and how her online classes make South Indian cooking accessible to anyone, anywhere.As always, the episode ends with what each of them is making for dinner—from masala dosa to Thai green curry to a speedy midweek stir-fry.
