At first glance, this pod is a conversation with Sarina Kamini about her new book What We Call Masala, which explores theories and practices around regional Indian spices. But go deeper and it’s an invitation to connect with our bodies, minds, souls, heritage and one another.

There’s also some homework: get your turmeric and your salts!
