Gina cooks delicious Romanian dishes and tries world recipes.   However, since she became my friend  many years ago,  she is always cooking Indian food.  Whenever I ask her what she made for dinner it is either Rice and  Sambar or Rajma or  even Dahi Vada!!    She cooks Indian food like she was born in India!!
