Spicy Mina

A few weekends ago, I tagged along on my friend David's chaat tour.  David does excellent food tours all over the five boroughs each month.  I met the crew (upwards of about 30 enthusiastic people) out at Spicy Mina in Queens.  That's right: 30 people - most who reside in Manhattan  - had trekked out to Queens on a frosty, blustery Saturday because David said so.  Promised at Spicy Mina was authentic Indian cuisine - chaats and tandoris and naan galore.

Have Mina cook whatever she wants for you - just tell her you trust her.  Your food might take a while, but that's because she's cooking everything from scratch.  So our food wasn't limited to chaat at this stop on David's tour - but no one said a word.

  2. The first of your pictures is actually a poori chaat, not a pakora.
