Chachos

I travel vicariously through one of my good friends Shiv. As a consultant, she gets to live and work all across the country. It's even more exciting because I successfully converted her into an A+ foodie when we lived together our senior year of college (Case in point, she used to only eat chicken sushi and now is a tried and true sashimi-ite). Meaning I now get to travel AND eat vicariously through her. So, during her recent stint in Los Angeles, she raved about an Indian/Mexican fusion restaurant she tried called Cowboys & Turbans. Now if there's one thing Indians love more than Indian food, it's probably Mexican. Inspired, I decided to create my own Ind-Mex fusion: Chachos! (Also known as Chaat Nachos).

With Super Bowl weekend coming up, this is a healthier and vegetarian-friendly alternative to all the meaty greasy game day grub.

Masala Meatballs

I don't think there is anything more difficult to master than Italian. Mostly because it is perfectly simple, and it's the simplicity that I just can't conquer. I just can't stop the itch to hit the spice rack, which usually means my pastas taste more like Maggi than an attempt at Italian. So, I've finally accepted my problem, and I have decided to embrace it. This is a recipe for baked chicken meatballs with a spicy Indian kick served over a simple spaghetti with arrabiata sauce.
