Though much of what we taste and experience here is an adaptation of the original dishes prepared traditionally, I can’t help but crave the connection to the culture and feel compelled to celebrate in the feast! Inspiration struck when I was savouring the deep, rich, flavourful food, known as the samosa from my favourite local Indian restaurant.

Everything we made – Lentil Sambar, Vegetable Buriyani, Potato Curry, Tomato Chutney – was delicious, but the dish that knocked my socks off in terms of subtle, yet amazing flavor was a simple Mung bean salad with lemon, coconut cilantro, black mustard and curry leaf.
