Whoa baby, what a title!

… *thinks back on how many times she has started a sentence with “whoa baby”.

Like holy hot damn. The Indian-fused dish was INSANE!!!! I got a little help from Nashville sunshine chef Maneet Chahuan and her mango-mint chutney recipe, like, oh my gaw, so good. Her cookbook comes out on October 6th and I am 100% purchasing!

I was really excited to make this dish because I adore Indian food. The flavors, the color, the indescribable joy it carries. Food is such a right of passage for their culture, and that’s something I really admire.
