Kulfi
Samosa,
a stuffed pastry, is a common snack in India, a fried triangular pastry with a
savory filling
of spiced potatoes, onion, peas, coriander, or meat.
Tarka Dal is a North Indian dish and is a kind of thick, spicy soup either served
with rice or roti bread which you use to scoop it up!
The red
lentils (dal) are boiled until they are completely cooked, at which point hot
spiced oil (tarka) is stirred in to provide a deliciously spicy, slightly burned
flavour.
Roti,
the traditional Indian bread, is eaten with curries or
cooked vegetables. It is made most often from wheat flour. Roti is an
accompaniment to other foods, maybe spread with ghee (clarified butter).
Kofta
is a Middle Eastern or Indian meatball or dumpling and consists of minced or
ground beef or lamb - mixed with spices and/or onions.
Kachumber
salad … cucumber,
tomatoes, onion, coriander, cumin, vinegar, salt, lime,
pepper.
Kulfi
is a popular flavored frozen
dessert made with milk. It is a kind of ice cream that comes in various flavors,
however, ours is the traditional, delicious kulfi flavored only with Rose Water.
Unlike western ice creams, kulfi is not whipped; it is a solid, dense
frozen dessert. Therefore, kulfi is a different kind of an ice cream.
