Bollywood Smash by Urban Roots Youth

A feast for the eyes and the taste buds.

Rose, Nue and Chu teamed up with two Twins chefs, Kyle McCleary (chef to the Twins players) and Becki Ramirez (Target Field’s Suites chef) to put forward a unique flavorful mix of Indian-inspired cuisine. Curried cauliflower and chickpeas are roasted then folded into a combination of carrots, bok choy, red cabbage, sorghum, mint and raisins. It’s a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. It’s dressing with a curried mango chutney vinaigrette. The team smashed it outta the ballpark.
