This unique potato salad comes in response to customer requests for using our freeze-dried natto and tamarind paste in recipes. We thought it would be a great idea to subdue the texture and mellow the flavor of the natto into some favorite dishes while turning up the pizazz at the same time with tamarind paste. For those who are hesitant about the texture and flavor of natto, but want the gut-health benefits, this salad would be a great start! Remember to prepare the natto ahead of time as instructed on the package. Although we did not peel the potatoes, feel free to do so once cooked and cooled enough to handle. The peel should slip off easily.

Chana Samosa Chaat
Also known as Chole Samosa Chaat, this popular North Indian street-food is an mouth-watering conglomeration of layers of crispy samosas, savory chickpea curry, and various chutneys, toppings, and seasonings. It can be enjoyed as a meal or a snack. There is no set recipe, so you can get as creative as you like. Although there are a lot of spices added, it’s not at all complicated, and it’s delicious with hot naan bread.
Grain-Free Creamy Kitchari
This creamy, delicious, grain-free version of an old Indian classic features yellow split mung dal blended with yellow potatoes, vegetables, ghee, and delectable Indian spices. Feel free to use vegetable broth, bone broth, or water, as desired. Pre-soaking the mung dal for 45 minutes to an hour helps to reduce the cooking time and make the kitchari even creamier. This will serve 2-4 people.
Dave’s Stuffed Peppers
Our friend Dave is such a creative cook! When he told us about his luscious stuffed peppers, we had to get his recipe! Although he used ground lamb, he assured us this dish is equally delicious made with ground pork, beef, chicken or turkey, and for a vegetarian option, mashed, seasoned tofu, lentils or any favorite legume

This simple salad makes a wonderful, refreshing lunch or a light dinner. Try it over a bed of leafy greens or with some crusty hot sourdough bread spread with ghee.
Kala Chana Curry
This delicious curry is simple and nourishing. Feel free to experiment with additional, seasonal vegetables. We love the ghee, cilantro and lemon wedges for garnish, but don’t hesitate to add some sliced avocado if you have it on hand.
Kashmiri Deviled-Egg Appetizers
These easy-to-make little treats are perfect to serve at holidays, parties, picnics and for company. We recommend good quality mayonnaise and either ground Kashmiri red pepper or cayenne to “devil” them up. If desired, replace pimentos with freshly-slivered red bell pepper slices.
Twice-Cooked Spiced Cauliflower
This heavenly dish begins with either pan-fried or oven-roasted cauliflower. The choice is yours – for a richer flavor, pan fry in ghee. For a lighter effect, oven-roast drizzled with olive oil.
Alphonso Mango Curry Mayonnaise with Rosemary and Lime
This Mango-Mayonnaise delivers the natural silky sweetness and unique mango-flavor that make Alphonso mangoes truly the “King of Mangoes”.
