Coconut, orange & chilli refresher

Just as certain dishes remind us of certain places and people, when I think of oranges I’m always reminded of a spiritual function in Ayodhya years ago, when the monkeys would often spot the oranges in my bag. The sheer number of oranges, or rather satsumas, I would eat each day, earned me the nickname ‘Orange’. When something is in season in India, you certainly know it’s in season – roadside stalls and mobile carts will be filled with just one thing, be it oranges or watermelons.
