Until my 30s I found all beans and legumes disgusting, except green beans. I'd eat them if served them but would think to myself "FML this is disgusting." In my 30s I got introduced to some great Indian restaurants by coworkers and it got me to the point where I love them now and try to use them in more and more ways. I just had my first foray with black eyed peas this month. Later this year going to try to make Akara/Koose (a West African fritter made with black eyed peas). I'd love to be like Chetna and have literally a dozen varieties in the pantry but they can be hard to find. I still haven't found fava beans locally yet even! Dr. Lecter would be so displeased :(. Anyway, this is a great run through. I'm going to use it to step up my legume/bean culinary game. #food#cooking#Nigeria#Ghana#India#IndianFood#IndianCooking#PlantBased#legumes THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO LENTILS | Everything You Need to Know about DAL | Food with Chetna

Comparing the two places I've lived the longest as an adult: #Chicago and #Delhi. Two places. Two continents. Different rates of increase but increases nonetheless. I've always thought that the biggest strength and flaw of human beings is that we are adaptable. But can we really adapt to these changes? Should we even need to?
I grieve for these changes. But I especially grieve for Delhi and people in India.
