Vegetable and Mushroom Dishes

Chickpea Tikka Masala

Chickpeas simmered in a creamy, deeply spiced tomato and coconut sauce. The flavor builds in layers: caramelized onion as the base, garlic and fresh ginger for sharpness, bloomed spices for depth, tomato paste cooked until it darkens, then coconut milk pulled in at the end to soften everything into something rich and velvety. This is the version of tikka masala that makes people think vegan food is actually good. It reheats better than almost anything and tastes noticeably better the day after you make it.

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Samosa

Flaky, crispy pastry cones filled with spiced potato and peas, deep-fried until dark golden. The dough uses a technique called moyan dena — fat is rubbed into the flour until the mixture resembles wet sand before any water goes in. That step is what makes the crust flaky rather than bready. The filling is mashed potato with green peas, cumin, green chilli, coriander, and amchur powder for the characteristic sour edge. The frying is two-stage: low heat first to set the dough from the inside, then medium heat for color. Serve hot with mint chutney and tamarind chutney.

Tom Yum Goong (Thai Hot and Sour Shrimp Soup)

Tom Yum Goong (ต้มยำกุ้ง) is Thailand's most internationally recognised dish — a clear, fiercely aromatic hot-and-sour soup built on the 'tom yum trinity': lemongrass, galangal, and makrut lime leaves. The broth is simultaneously hot (from Thai bird's eye chillies), sour (fresh lime juice added off the heat), salty (fish sauce), and fragrant (the three herbs). Shrimp heads and shells, simmered first, create a naturally rich stock with a coral-orange color. Two versions exist: the clear broth (nam sai, น้ำใส) — the original — and the creamier version with evaporated milk or coconut milk (nam khon, น้ำข้น). Both are served in the same bowls of jasmine rice across Thailand, from roadside stalls to five-star restaurants.

Salads

Zaalouk

Zaalouk is a Moroccan cooked salad — eggplant and tomatoes slow-cooked together with garlic, cumin, paprika, and plenty of olive oil until they collapse into a thick, jammy paste. Not quite a dip, not quite a side dish. The Moroccan kitchen serves it alongside tagines, spooned onto bread, or as part of a mezze spread of small salads that open a meal. Charring the eggplant before cooking it is optional but does add a smoky note that the straight-cooked version lacks. It tastes better the next day, and keeps for four days in the fridge.

Soups

Harira

Harira is Morocco's most important soup. The name comes from the Arabic word for silk — a reference to the velvety texture it gets from a flour-and-water slurry (tedouira) stirred in at the end. Every Moroccan family has their version, but the spine is always the same: tomatoes, chickpeas, lentils, fresh herbs, ginger, and warm spices. It is the soup that breaks the Ramadan fast every evening at iftar, served alongside dates, hard-boiled eggs, and chebakia cookies. It is also eaten through the rest of the year, as a starter or as a meal in itself. The lamb version is the most traditional, but the vegetarian version is nearly as popular.
