There is a biological clock in every Indian stomach that rings at 6:00 PM demanding something fried. Pakoras (gram flour fritters), samosa , or bhajiya are mandatory. The family gathers on the balcony or the diwan (a daybed) in the living room.
Does your family have a similar daily rhythm? Or does the idea of living with 10 relatives sound like a nightmare to you? 😉
