I’ve heard about Vik’s for ages and stopped by on a Saturday for dinner. The joint was packed with customers.

Indian Food Made Easy from Diiver on Vimeo.

This place reminds me of India…the food tastes like it was COOKED in India and the desserts good (but a bit too sweet for me). Right next door is the grocery where I bought some digestive biscuits…

My mom is an awesome cook – she never used to be, but taught herself the abc’s of cooking so that she could feed us! Here she teaches me how to make Minced Chicken Vegi with Tomato Achar (pickle)…it’s so good. This is not a typical Nepalese cuisine, but an original dish created by my mom…

I love beans…not just for the nutritional benefits, but I find it to be a versatile food to keep around. I toss it on a bed of greens and love coming up with various types of salads. I like to purchase dry beans in a bag, soak it overnight and boil it the next day.

This is a White Bean Salad with Artichoke from The Pasta Store…

I mixed it with black beans (store bought)…

My favorite dressing? Simple…a spoonful of olive oil and mustard directly in the salad bowl.

Throw in any greens of your choice …delicious!
