Family Recipe

One of the perks about going to Ronak's house is eating an abundance of delicious homemade Indian food. His family is Gujarati vegetarian so the flavors are very different from the Punjabi dishes I'm used to ordering in Indian restaurants.

Another perk is that we can have one-on-one Indian cooking lessons anytime we like. I recently took advantage of this generous offer and spent the afternoon cooking with Ron's mom. I learned how to make Batata Suki Bhaji (potatoes with tumeric, mustard seed, cilantro, lime juice & green chili peppers), as well as roti and parathas. Once we get set up with the necessary spices and cooking tools, we're going to have a lot more Indian food at home.
