“Yotam Ottolenghi may not have invented the way we like to eat now, savouring all those small plates of bright, zingy, cross-cultural and veg-forward flavours. But no one, perhaps, has done more to define it.” Vancouver Sun

In a far suburb of Bombay, residents from slums are moved into high-rise apartment complexes with the promise of a better life. While these complexes are built to house the poor, they have also been seen as moves to free slum land in prime city areas for commercial development.
