Mikioi Ceramics by Jennifer Hill a local ceramic artist will be showing her pieces at a.ell atelier this Sat. the 27th.

She will be accompanied by chef Nausheen serving a $5 bowl of aloo choley!

Nausheen takes her passion for the art of Indian Cooking and brings it to Kauai.  From the kitchen of her mother and grandmother in India she has learned the elusive techniques of Indian cooking and now brings her own flare to all her dishes.  Preparing an array of dishes she presents diners with some traditional favorites and unique pleasing surprises.  Using only the freshest of ingredients her food touches the soul and brings the charisma of India to each bite.Food is an integral part of India’s culture, with its cuisines differing according to region.  Indian cuisine is characterized by its uniquely crafted recipes using sophisticated combinations of aromatic spices and herbs fused with fresh ingredients to create a bold, zesty taste like no other.

This Saturday’s dish is called aloo choley(potatoe and garbanzo beans)   made with organic garbanzo beans, and red potatoes. It is a very common dish in north India especially Mumbai.  It is street food or fast food except it’s very healthy. Their will also be a tamarind chutney and a spicy chutney.
