Chef Ali Loukzada, formerly of NYC's Buddakan and Tabla, heads the Himalayan-inspired Cafe Serai at the Rubin Museum of Art. His homestyle take on upma — similar to grits or polenta but cooked with semolina wheat and plenty of coconut milk and butter — is definitely a dish to add to your Indian repertoire.

A little prosciutto never hurt anyone, either.
