Carne Asada

Flank steak marinated in fresh lime, orange, garlic and cilantro, then grilled on screaming-hot metal until charred outside and pink inside. The entire flavor lives in the marinade and the char โ€” both take minutes, not hours.

Chickpea Tikka Masala

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.

Samosa

Samosa

Flaky, crispy pastry cones filled with spiced potato and peas, deep-fried until dark golden. The dough uses a technique called moyan dena โ€” 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.

Naan Bread

Naan Bread

Yeasted flatbread made with yogurt, cooked on a very hot cast-iron skillet until the surface blisters and the edges char. The yogurt softens the dough and relaxes the gluten โ€” without it, the bread would be chewier and more bready. The skillet must be genuinely hot before the dough goes in: that instant heat is what turns the moisture in the dough to steam, inflates the bubbles, and gives the bread its characteristic uneven surface. Brush with butter or ghee immediately off the heat. Makes 6 pieces.

Tom Yum Goong (Thai Hot and Sour Shrimp Soup)

Tom Yum Goong (เธ•เน‰เธกเธขเธณเธเธธเน‰เธ‡) is Thailand's most internationally recognised dish โ€” 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, เธ™เน‰เธณเนƒเธช) โ€” the original โ€” and the creamier version with evaporated milk or coconut milk (nam khon, เธ™เน‰เธณเธ‚เน‰เธ™). Both are served in the same bowls of jasmine rice across Thailand, from roadside stalls to five-star restaurants.

Zaalouk

Zaalouk is a Moroccan cooked salad โ€” 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.
