Join us for a special fundraising take-out dinner for the Sitka Kitch, where people pick up their food any time from 4-6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 4, at Beak Restaurant to take home.

This event will feature a variety of take-out vegetarian Indian dishes cooked by Beak chef/owner Renée Jakaitis Trafton and her crew.

Renée’s planned menu includes:

• Coconut Tumeric Chickpea Curry / Tender chickpeas simmered in a rich coconut broth with carrot, potato, kale
• Chai Spiced Red Lentil Daal / Red lentils with chai spices- ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, clove, black pepper, bay leaf
• Spiced Basmati Rice / Cinnamon, cardamom, clove
• Samosa / Crispy spiced potato and green pea mix in dough
• Tamarind Dipping Sauce
• Naan
• House-Made Chai / Ginger, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, bay leaf

The cost is $50 per person, and the registration deadline is 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 2. All proceeds benefit the Sitka Kitch community rental commercial kitchen, which provides cooking and food preservation classes to Sitka residents. It also provides kitchen rentals on a limited basis for food businesses.

Please let us know if there are other people from your household participating so we can group your food when we package it for pick-up.
