Chipotle Masala Rice with Tamarind
This delicious basmati rice dish is seasoned with a unique masala made from dry-roasted smoked Chipotle Morita chili peppers. Tamarind, jaggery, ghee, and roasted peanuts round out the flavors. Serve this as a side dish, or as a main dish with added vegetables and protein of choice. You can reduce the heat (spiciness) of the masala by halving the chili pepper and removing the seeds before pan-toasting.
South Indian Summer Sambar
Sambar is a delicious, super-flavorful South Indian lentil soup made with vegetables and seasonings. It’s typically served with idlis, rice or dosas. There is no one way to make sambar, so feel free to experiment with your choice of veggies, lentils and seasonings. We are keeping it seasonal for summer with zucchini and tomato.
