Rasika Comes Home

I am a huge Rasika fan. It is truly inspired. If you haven't had the Palak Chaat, I usually order 2, you are truly missing something.

Indian food is one of my favorites, but can be difficult and time consuming to make at home. Anyone see the most recent Food & Wine? Once again F&W to the rescue!


They have taken Vikram Sunderam's recipes and demystified them, making them easy for the home cook. There are 7 recipes in all - Chicken Tikka,Cilantro and Yogurt Sauce, Halibut Curry, Vegetable Curry, Green Chicken Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh, Lemon-Cashew Rice, Mango Shrimp, Dal. Each recipe gives a short-cut that reduces the number of hard to find ingredients or eliminates a step - brilliant! I am going to try these out at home this weekend and will let you know how it goes. In the meantime, I suggest getting down to Rasika for a plate of Palak Chaat and a kumkwat martini.
