EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant atmosphere of an open-air curry shop and restaurant in Old Delhi, India, in the heart of the 1980s. The image showcases a skilled chef, squatting by a massive, bubbling cooking pot, intently stirring and adding ingredients to the simmering curry. The pot, large enough to feed a crowd, sits atop an open flame, surrounded by an array of colorful spices and aromatic ingredients. The scene transports us to the bustling streets of Old Delhi, where the aroma of spices and the sizzle of cooking fill the air. The shop, with its simple wooden tables and benches, is nestled amidst the chaos of the busy street, yet manages to create a warm and inviting ambiance. The menu, displayed prominently on a chalkboard, promises a variety of authentic Indian curries, each one more tantalizing than the last. The chef's focused expression and deft movements convey the passion and dedication that goes into every dish served at this humble establishment. The steam rising from the pot adds to the sense of anticipation, as diners eagerly await their turn to savor the rich, flavorful curries that have made this shop a beloved institution in Old Delhi. This photograph is a testament to the enduring tradition of Indian cookery, and the joy and community that comes from sharing a meal in the vibrant streets of India.
