The Spring Fling menu at Ziya, at The Oberoi, includes a lot of preserved lemon, spinach and channa…
Yes, these basics are available year-round in Mumbai, but they are the ones that best represent Spring, especially the citrusy elements. The weather changes dramatically in the north, and this is the time when these veggies come into the picture there.

Green houses abroad may cultivate these all year round, but the best crop comes in this season.
