A lunch where sprouted mung beans are cooked and tossed with leftover potatoes and quinoa in ghee seasoned with cumin, red chilies, cloves, cardamom, bay leaf, and freshly grated coconut to make a nutritious one pot khichdi meal. So good for you and yum too!

Farm fresh chaat - Jersey fresh tomatoes, grilled corn, avocados, peppers meet up with mint chutney, yogurt, spicy Sev and chaat masala.

Zucchini and squash from the farmers market get converted into a yummy “kootu”. The gravy is made of fresh coconut ground with cumin seeds and chilies. It’s added to the cooked squash with cooked dal (split mung) and finished with coconut oil tempered with mustard seeds and 🌶. So good for you and perfect with steamed rice.

Aha! Discovered another Indian Hawaiian connection (besides me being pulled to Hawaii all the time!). It’s all in the roots…..of the Banyan tree. The first tree was a gift from India and since then, these trees have become a ubiquitous part of the Hawaiian landscape.

It’s lunchtime and I had leftover rice staring at me. So I took a few things I picked up from the farm - grilled a 🌽, finely chopped some mint and tomatoes and sautéed it all in some ghee flavored with cumin seeds and chili’s. Yum!

Closer to home in NYC, it’s lovely to be able to eat yummy meals outdoors on summer evenings, taking in the joys of good food, a beautiful city, and abundant people watching. Oh and speaking of people watching, do you engage in this sport?
