What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was fascinated by the traditional 'hand-squeezing' technique used to prepare bhorta, noting that it is essential for releasing the full potential of the flavors. He particularly enjoyed the combination of fresh garden ingredients and the aromatic punch of mustard oil in the village-style cooking. The highlight for him was the immersive experience of harvesting ingredients directly from the farm before they were cooked over an open fire.
