Ashley kicks off our Indian triptych with a glorious discussion of the Indian goddess Devi and her myriad of manifestations, including Durga and Kali. After laying the foundations, Ashley serves up the mythological tale of Kali and Mashishasura, a small part of the Devi Mahatmya, a Sanskrit text dating back to the 5th or 6th century. We hope you have a strong stomach because this culinary tour involves an epic clash between gods and demons that includes some serious carnage. In other words, there will be blood.
