The kitchen of Catholic priest Fr Warner D'Souza in Malad East is a humble celebration of food. Potatoes and onions play peekaboo from small plastic buckets that hang from the wall, while straw baskets with veggies of all kinds are seen colouring the corner right below. It's but the neatly-lined bottles and jars of spices, pulses and sauces, covering every inch of empty space in his cooking station, that has piqued our interest. Gazing like a voyeur into his kitchen in a video on YouTube, it's hard to tell which spice is stored in which bottle. But, the distraction aside, the priest has us glued to his every word. Today, he is discussing the Gospel of Matthew from the Bible, where Jesus "calls us to give more love". That the sermonising is happening not from the pulpit of the church, but inside his brimming kitchen, might feel strange. Stranger is the fact that the faith lesson is being accompanied by a quick cooking tutorial.

Fr D'souza, who is the priest in charge at St Jude Church in Malad East, is preparing beetroot bhaji for his viewers. And the transition between conversations about food and faith is smooth.
