January 30, 2013Filed in: Food by Tara Shubbuck

Making Samosas

Here is a samosa and cilantro chutney recipe. This should make about 8-11 samosas, though you might want to double the chutney recipe if you’re an avid dipper. Indians don’t really use too many exact measurements; so when I say things like “add water one cup at a time,” just use your best judgment based Read Post

Every stretch of road was flanked by landscape so breathtaking that I felt like I was missing something whenever I looked away to read. I spent hours staring out the “Impala Read Post

[Not So] Incredible India

January 7, 2013Filed in: Points of View by Tara Shubbuck

Road Sign in India

Before we got to India, our Indian friends and other avid travelers warned that the country is “overwhelming to the senses” and might wear us down. I didn’t quite understand what that meant. I was excited to explore India because it always seemed so exotic to me. But having done little travel outside of Western Read Post

Indian Recipe: Pea Biryani

January 4, 2013Filed in: Food by Tara Shubbuck

Cooking up India Dishes
