We here at the Gilbert Residence are happily eating our way through all the wonderful cultures in "A Meal in the Life".
For The Spice of Indian Life: Chef Bal's recipes were wonderful and easy to make. Our own Sheetal was a great help; advising, teaching, cooking and answering my never ending questions. She even took me to an Indian grocer, a first for me.
We started with our Meal which included: Butter Chicken, Indian Macaroni Cheese, Spiced Coconut Rice, Aloo Gajar Matar and Indian Rice Pudding.
Then we had a Social featuring Indian desserts and snack type foods such as, Cilantro Chutney Sandwiches, Samosa with Date Chutney, Raita, Chole, Kulfi and Kaju Phool to name a few. So much fun, so much food and I think my tongue is still tingling a bit!
