The fusion of spices like garam masala, ground cumin, and coriander with ingredients like jalapeño and cilantro creates a unique blend of flavors that represent the fusion of different culinary cultures.
Seasonal note
This dish is versatile and can be enjoyed year-round. Some of the fresh ingredients like jalapeño, cilantro, and romaine lettuce are typically in season during the summer and fall, making it a great dish for those seasons.
