Masala Kitchen, Wilmington

At Masala Kitchen, potato and chickpeas replace lamb and goat in authentic Indian curries. That’s because the Indian eatery serves exclusively vegetarian dishes, each made with a combination of seasonal ingredients and exotic spice blends. Besides stirring fixings into curry, Masala Kitchen’s cooks stuff paneer into whole-wheat bread and fill puffed puri with potatoes and mint-cilantro chutney. The culinary team whips up even more options for catered meals, from veggie biryani to rice and lentil cakes dusted with red-chili powder.
