The spice is right

After years of slinging sauces such as vindaloo and coconut curry, owner Nidhi Jalan has created an “easy, healthy, delicious” new pop-up Indian spot at Michael & Ping’s called Masala Mama.

Jalan (pictured below with husband, Kapil Bawa) said her vegetarian menu encompasses the flavors of many Indian regions, and she hopes to add more Bengali dishes as well. Dishes include paneer tikka masala ($13.95-$17.95), cauliflower and potato aloo gobi ($14.95), dal makhani ($11.95-$13.95) and watermelon chaat salad ($9.95). Using a pizza oven, she also prepares breads, such as sourdough naan ($2.95)

Wednesday to Sunday, 5 to 9 p.m. Michael & Ping’s, 437 Third Ave., Gowanus; 646-820-6790, MasalaMamaFoods.com
