Smoked " Tandoori"  Chicken  It has been five years since we purchased the Kamado Joe Classic Joe Series II 18-inch Ceramic Charcoal Grill and Smoker with Cart .

Parippu Vada

Parippu Vada's remind me of my time back in MCA when friends would get parippu vada's when studying late in the evening for exams.

I decided to skip the saunf too.

Kadala Curry

I had soaked some black chick peas and decided to try out the Kerala style kadala curry. I tried the following recipe out: http://www.sailusfood.com/2012/12/31/kadala-curry/ Nishanth liked the curry although it wasn't as spicy. The addition of fennel and coconut milk gives it an interesting twist.

Destan Restaurant, Richardson, TX

We decided to try this restaurant out and bought a now groupon. It is a small restaurant and not too much as far as seating and service goes. The food was quite good and I loved the meatball curry. They are located at: 955 E Campbell Rd Richardson , TX 75082 (972) 918-0505

Desta Ethiopian Restaurant, Dallas, TX

We have been to this restaurant twice and I love this place. The dorowat is so yummy! I love the injera over here. Once in a while they have groupons and google offers for this restaurant which makes it totally worth going here! They are located at: 12101 Greenville Ave #105  Dallas, TX 75243

Inchin's Bamboo Garden, Plano, TX

We liked the food at the Irving restaurant and decided to try out the Plano restaurant since it is closer to our home. We liked the food here although we could not find the same corn appetizer that we found at the Irving location. Definitely recommended! They are located at: 8600 Preston Rd  Plano, TX 75024 (214) 872-2222
