Unfamiliar with many of the ingredients listed, the twosome head to Vancouver's Little India neighborhood for inspiration, and get more than just culinary inspiration. They attempt seven recipes in four hours: tandoor naan, crisp fried okra tidbits, lamb kabobs, tamarind potatoes, star fruit chutney, cachoombar salad, and gulab jamun (fried sweet dough). They do a taste test of store bought garam masala - a South Asian spice blend - to see how it compares to home made, and a test of mortars and pestles, needed to grind spices which are so key to South Asian cooking. Regardless of how the cooking goes, they are nervous about the meal since South Asian food is one of their favorite cuisines, and the guest chef tasters are Vikram Vij and Meeru Dhalwala, husband/wife owner/chefs of the renowned Vij's Restaurant in Vancouver. But Anna and Kristina will at least look good for their guests no matter how the food turns out. Written by Huggo See less
