Samosa is a popular snack in Southeast Asia, a fried or baked triangular pastry with a filling which may include spiced potatoes, onion, peas, coriander, and lentils, or ground beef. At tonight’s dinner, there is one samosa.

Thali
(meaning "plate" in hindi) is an Indian meal with contents varying from one regional cuisine to another.  A thali is a selection of different dishes, usually served in small bowls. Typical dishes include rice, dhal, vegetables, chapati or naan, yoghurt, small amounts of chutney or pickle, and a sweet dish to top it.

Kerala is located in the south west of India on the Arabian Sea in the west and networked by 44 rivers.  Kerala enjoys a long shoreline with serene beaches, tranquil stretches of emerald backwaters, lush hill stations and exotic wildlife, sprawling plantations and paddy fields and above all exotic cuisine ... follow this link to a Kerala shrimp recipe!

Dhal
(also Dal or Daal, or Dahl) is a preparation of pulses (dried lentils, peas or beans) which have been stripped of their outer hulls and split. It is a thick stew prepared from these, a mainstay of Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, and Bangladeshi cuisine.

Rogan Josh is a lamb dish from Kashmir  and is popular in India, Pakistan and Singapore. Rogan means oil in Persian, while josh means heat, hot, boiling, or passionate. Rogan josh thus means cooked in oil at intense heat. Another interpretation of the name is derived from the word rogan meaning color and josh meaning passion, hot or red. So this is a meat dish which is red in color

Chapati or Chapatti or Chapathi is an unleavened flatbread (also known as roti) from the Indian subcontinent.  Versions of it are found in Turkmenistan and in East African countries Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
