New Orleans Gumbo
Gumbo and Jambalaya always remind me of my aunt Marjorie. She was a fabulous cook
and really inspired me on my cooking journey. She taught me many things, mostly about cooking. She taught me everything she knew about Indian food. She and my uncle lived in India for a year in the early sixties. They lived in New Orleans for well over 30 years and taught me how to make Jambalaya, gumbo, shrimp creole, and the list goes on.... This New Orleans Gumbo is a classic Creole recipe. It’s chicken, andouille sausage, shrimp, and fresh okra simmered with a dark roux and served over rice.

The filling takes the soul-warming essence of a traditional pot pie—juicy shredded rotisserie chicken, potatoes, and carrots—and smothers it in a velvety, rich Japanese curry sauce. Using a store-bought Japanese curry mix, which gives a gravy-like thickness, deepened by warm spices and a bright hint of fresh ginger. The entire concoction is then sealed under a buttery, store-bought puff pastry crust, which bakes to a beautiful golden crispness, ready to soak up every drop of that savory, spicy-sweet sauce.
