Thanks to Suresh Chandra and Kapil Sharma for this salad recipe. Sharma says that his mother makes a similar salad all the time in India. The flavor combination of ginger, onion, curry, and lemon makes this a tantalizing salad!

samosa pot pie
Sue created this very delicious ethnic pot pie that is healthier than authentic samosas because it's baked instead of deep-fried. Try iced tea or a cold East India Pale Ale to complement the spicy red pepper in the dish, and maybe some mango or cantaloupe slices for dessert.

spiced dal (lentil stew)
There are myriad varieties of dal, many of which include lentils. The spices used in this dish can vary quite a bit and can include curry powder, garam masala, or even tamarind or mango. Dal is served often in Indian households (sometimes more than once a day).
