For Diwali, we're making a delicious snack with potatoes and fresh vegetables. We're also making a lovely carrot side dish. It's an unfamiliar dish for the monsters, the recipes come from India. We are curious if they will like the taste! We serve the dishes with two dips, one is tomato ketchup, and we make a tamarind-date chutney. The recipe with the ingredients for the Tamarind Date Chutney is included in the PDF format. You can print the entire recipe in one go.
The monsters know what Diwali is all about. There's a little boy with Indian roots in their class. His mother came to school last year to do Divali crafts with them, so sweet, and they loved it! But these snacks? They want to look and smell them first, but they look delicious and smell nice too. A small bite and...it tastes sweet! Yes, Aloo Tikki itastes really good!
