PRAWN RECHEADO
Recheado, from the Konkan coast, is shaped by Goa’s Indo-Portuguese kitchens and built on soaked dried chilies (primarily byadgi for color and heat), vinegar for acidity and preservation, garlic, and whole spices ground into a sharp, deep, punchy paste 👊
Here, fire-grilled prawns take that recheado masala head-on. The heat chars the edges, the paste caramelizes, and the natural sweetness of the prawn balances the spice. Pao served on the side isn’t optional, it’s necessary to drag through what’s left of the sauce 🤤

Mirchi ka maas comes from a place that never cooked quietly. 🫢
In Rajasthan, chilies weren’t just heat—they were preservation, intensity, a way to build flavor in a landscape where nothing came easy. Traditionally made with game, cooked low until it surrendered, the green chili cuts through with sharpness and lift, keeping the dish from ever feeling heavy.
At Adda, Niman Ranch short rib takes that place. Braised low and slow, pulling apart into a sauce built on green chili and garam masala—layered, direct, and persistent. Not overwhelming, but never subtle. 🔥
It’s a dish that holds its ground.
Did you catch Chefs Chintan and Neel on the Today Show this morning? They brought the full Adda butter chicken experience right into the studio — all the buttery, creamy, smoky magic that keeps you coming back for more. Watch the full clip at the link in bio. 🧡

Tomorrow we hunt for the holy grail of plateware with chef Neel (@neelkajale ).
There are plenty of designs to dig through, and even a cabinet of custom shapes hiding in the attic of @nobleplateware , but in the end it’s a straightforward bowl at the front of the store that turns out to be the one.
We simply can’t wait for Monday night when we’ll welcome Chef Neel Kajale, from @addanyc 🍔 He’s serving up a Waygu “Chapli”-inspired burger with amul cheese and roasted garlic sauce on a toasted milk bun with a side of masala fries! Not to be missed are his latkes loaded with makkhani sauce and smoked mint cream and his Imli chutney sundae 🍨 see you then? Get your resy via link in bio!
I shot a really cool video with Bon Appétit about chefs and their favorite knives 🔪
If you’ve known me for a while, you know knives have been my obsession since the day I stepped into a professional kitchen.
So getting the chance to nerd out about them on camera? Way too much fun.
@wusthof sponsor me? I’ve been loyal… (as loyal as your knife has been to me).
