Ma ka hana ʻana i ka lumi kuke, ua lawe ʻo Goswami i nā hana e like me ka ʻili ʻana i ka pī mai nā makahiki ʻehā, a ua hoʻomau ʻia kona mau mākaukau a me kāna mau kuleana a hiki i ka piha ʻana o 12 mau makahiki, a hiki iā ia ke hoʻomākaukau i kahi meaʻai piha.E like me kona makuakāne, ua hoʻomohala ʻo ia i ka makemake i ka mahiʻai."Makemake au i ka hoʻoulu ʻana a me ka kuke ʻana i ka meaʻai," wahi a Goswami, "he aha ka mea, pehea ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā meaʻai a pehea e hoʻohana ʻia ai i nā kīʻaha like ʻole."
Ma hope o ka male ʻana i ka makahiki 25 a neʻe ʻo ia i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua hoʻolauna ʻia ʻo Goswami i ka moʻomeheu hāʻawi meaʻai ma o kahi wahi hana ʻAmelika.Eia naʻe, hoʻomau ʻo ia i kāna kuʻuna kuke home ma ke kuaʻāina ʻo Connecticut, e hoʻomākaukau ana i nā meaʻai no kona ʻohana a me nā malihini i kahi ʻano hoʻokipa maʻamau o India.

No laila, i paipai ʻia e kona mau hoa, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Goswami e hana a kūʻai aku i kekahi o kāna mau chutneys ma kahi mākeke mahiʻai ʻo Connecticut i ka makahiki 2009. I loko o ʻelua pule, ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia iā Calcutta Kitchens LLC, ʻoiai ʻo ia e ʻōlelo nei ʻaʻohe ona manaʻo e hoʻomaka i kahi ʻoihana.Ua hāʻawi ʻo Chutneys i ke ala i ka simmering sauces, kahi ala pōkole i ka hana ʻana i ka meaʻai India maoli me nā mea liʻiliʻi.ʻO kēia nā mea hoʻololi a pau o kāna mea i kuke ai ma ka home, a loaʻa nā meaʻai me ka nalowale ʻole o ka ʻono.
I loko o nā makahiki he 13 mai ka wā i hoʻokumu ai ʻo Goswami iā Calcutta Kitchens, ua ulu aʻe ka laina o nā chutneys, stews a me nā mea ʻala a Goswami i ke kūʻai ʻana ma ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa, ʻoiai ʻo kāna ʻano mua a punahele o ka pilina lehulehu ʻo ia nā mākeke mahiʻai.Ma kāna hale kūʻai kūʻai, hoʻomaka ʻo Goswami e kūʻai aku i nā meaʻai i hoʻomākaukau ʻia me kāna meaʻai hiki, ʻo ia ka meaʻai vegan a me ka meaʻai meaʻai."ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻopau - ʻike wau i ka pono maoli no ia," wahi āna."He mea maikaʻi ka meaʻai India no nā mea kanu a me nā vegans, a me ka gluten-free, ʻaʻole pono e hoʻāʻo e ʻokoʻa."
Me kēia mau makahiki o ka ʻike, ua hoʻomaka ka manaʻo o ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi hale kūʻai i kahi wahi ma hope o kona noʻonoʻo.ʻEkolu makahiki aku nei, ua neʻe ʻo Goswami i ke awāwa ʻo Hudson a hāʻule nā ​​​​mea āpau."ʻO koʻu mau hoa mahiʻai a pau ma ka mākeke mai kēia ʻāina mai," wahi āna.“Makemake au e noho i ko lakou wahi e noho ai.Mahalo nui ke kaiāulu kūloko i kēia meaʻai.”

ʻAʻole makemake ʻo Goswami i nā meaʻai nui a nalo ʻo ia i kēia ʻano o ke ola ma India."Ma India, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele mau i kēia mau wahi no ke kī a me ka meaʻai wikiwiki," wahi āna.“Aia nā donuts a me ka kofe, akā ʻaʻole wau makemake mau i ka niho ʻono, kahi sanwiti nui a i ʻole kahi pā nui.Makemake au i kahi meaʻai liʻiliʻi, kahi mea ma waena. "
Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i manaʻo e hiki iā ia ke hoʻopiha i kahi hakahaka o ka meaʻai ʻAmelika.Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Goswami, ka mea i noho mau ma nā mākeke mahiʻai ʻo Chord a me Kingston, e ʻimi i ka meaʻai kalepa.Ua hoʻolauna aku kekahi hoaaloha iā ia i ke konohiki o 448 Broadway ma Kingston, kahi i noho ai ka Artisan Bakery ma mua."I koʻu ʻike ʻana i kēia hakahaka, ua hāʻule koke nā mea a pau e wili ana i koʻu poʻo," wahi a Goswami - tiffins, kāna laina, nā meaʻai meaʻai India.
"I koʻu hoʻoholo ʻana e wehe ma Kingston, ʻaʻole au i ʻike ʻaʻole he hale ʻaina ʻĀina ma ʻaneʻi," wahi a Goswami me ka ʻakaʻaka.“ʻAʻole au i makemake e lilo i paionia.Noho wau ma ʻaneʻi a aloha wau iā Kingston no laila manaʻo wau he maikaʻi ia.Ua manaʻo ʻia ua hana ʻia i ka manawa kūpono a ma kahi kūpono.
