One Pot meals made easy!
Terra Klay is partnering this month with Uma Vaiyapuri and Vineeta Santoshi of Chutney Devis to share with you something new.
Chutney Devis is a company that sells nutritious, easy-to-make South Indian food kits. It was born out of a passion for cooking and this love of cooking came from Uma’s father who taught her to cook when she was a girl. Like Terra Klay, Chutney Devis cares about hand-made and time-honored traditions and we couldn’t wait to try their lentil soup kit.
We love partnering with other Chicago social entrepreneurs and with a beautiful cooking pot likes ours, Chutney Devis' lentil soup mix was a perfect collaboration to bring an easy one-pot meal to your table.
The mix comes in two varieties. Both come with directions and recipes to try. However, we wanted to add a variation to the recipe.
