NOW UNTIL AUGUST 25th - My Rasoi. This month, it's all about Indian desserts. "The premise: Indian food rocks, but Indian desserts suck. Fix 'em
Ideas:
1) Creative fusion of Indian flavors in a cake, pie, tart, brownie, or other non-traditional Indian dessert technique.
2) A traditional Indians dessert, altered to appeal to the Western palate.
3) Any treat that would be particularly good after a great Indian meal, including beverages, candies, etc.
The rules: Make a dessert with an Indian twist and email toastpoint@gmail.com by Friday, August 25. Roundup with pictures by the end of the month.
