I prefer 'cooling foods' for the summer - lots of fruits like watermelons, a few strands of kesar with raisins that have been soaked overnight, and lots of coconut water. Dinner is usually dahi chawal. I am a big foodie, so depending on my cravings, I indulge - maybe pasta or risotto.

Unlike leftover pasta, leftover risotto is viewed by Italians as a gift. Cooks shape it into balls or stuff it with a pinch of stewed meat or cheese. Then they bread and deep-fry the fritters until golden brown, yielding arancini, the indulgent 'little oranges' I can never resist.

Cooking is about the ingredients and responding, but risotto, specifically, is about the technique.

Ingredient Variations

 involved the final preparing surfaces and applying successive coats of waterproof varnish. The varnish was a family recipe, as closely guarded as one for risotto or a homemade sauce. Yet even with the woodwork finished, the gondola was still not complete.

Corruption, wealth and...

 We're excited about where we are and a lot of things we want to do. So for example, one is to get rid of my real estate problem and get better signals. We want to develop these little tiny capsules about the size of a piece of risotto
