A few professional trend trackers predicted that 2014 would be the year Indian cuisine became more mainstream. It seems likely since Americans are embracing Indian flavors and portable items such as samosas, a popular handheld snack. Food truck chef Starr creates an innovative spin on the samosa by filling a crisp cone with a curried potato mixture.
