It begins with a market scene. AKHIYA and her son (HASSAN) in a market in MUMBAI, INDIA. Akhiya and Hassan are in the market place to buy food items but hustling to get one particular food item, sea urchin. By the look, rush and desperation of different buyers stretching out money to the trader to buy the whole lot of sea urchins. but the trader stares at all of them without saying a word. Young hassan finds his way through the crowd, and goes straight for the item and tastes of it. Alas the trader said "for the one who truly knows", impressed by Young hassan's go-for-it attitude. He sold the lot to Hassan, indirectly Akhiya, hassans mother.
Hassans life seemed to be going on well, as he was a cook in his family restaurant, the Kadam family restaurant where hassan saw as a school and his tutor Akhiya his mother. The restaurant and cooking was all he knew. Hassan was particularly trained by his mother in the art of tasting. Akhiya, master-cook taught important lessons to hassan one of the many lessons was "Life has its own flavour, spirits that live in all ingredients but to cook you must kill, you cook to make ghosts" meaning what we acually call taste or sweetness or flavour of an ingredient is actually life in ghost form.
