Here are a few of our Chef’s inspirations for lunch and dinner serving suggestions.

Handmade Samosas

  • Serve with our Tamarind chutney as a dipping sauce. 
  • Delicious with a crisp side salad, or enjoy them with a side of soup.
  • Cut in half for plating or 1/2 size servings to share with a friend.

Pakora's

  • Serve as a meat alternative with a side salad, soup, or even rice. 
  • A great addition to any appetizer platter.
  • For a unique vegetarian meal, skewer Veggie Pakoras, alternating with robust vegetables, and set on the Barbeque or in the oven for a meatless alternative. Try adding a bit of your favorite barbeque sauce to the skewer.

Savory Sauces

  • Add a Tsp of Nana’s Kitchen Mango Date Chutney to mayonnaise for a unique dip.
  • Use as a traditional sauce. 
  • Use as a meat marinade. 
  • Terrific as a BBQ baste.
