It all began with my mother's desperate need to have fresh fish that was not accessible [when the lockdown kicked in]. So, she had to unlock her storage of dried fish, which was preserved for the monsoon, when we do not eat fresh fish as it's the breeding time of marine organisms," shares Thane-based artist Parag Tandel, who has been spending the past three months cooking with his mother, Kamal Kashinath Tandel, documenting culinary traditions of the Koli community. The result is Let There Be Bounty Everyday, an ongoing video series with Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts as part of their initiative Surviving Self Quarantine (SQ).
