When people went on Jewish trips around the world before the pandemic hit, there was always the concern that the local food was not kosher, and therefore something that they could not enjoy, barring themselves from experiencing the local flavor.
As 2020 continues to surprise us and with most of our community staying indoors, the dietary options of Jewish travelers might seem strange to bring up. However, staying indoors gives people a lot of time to spare, and we’ve discovered that there’s actually a lot of different cultural dishes from around the world that are kosher, or at least easy enough to turn kosher. Here are three great recipes from around the world that you can prepare for yourself.
Alu Vadi/Pathrode of India
A lot of vegetarian cuisines are quite kosher, from ratatouille to the non-meat variants of banh mi. Alu Vadi or Pathrode of India is one such cuisine, a kind of plant-based snack made from colocasia leaves. Dassana Amit of Veg Recipes of India presents this easy to follow the recipe for you to try your own pathrode at home. You might have to wait before you can go on Glatt Kosher Tours through India, but you can sample great kosher Indian cuisine today. Just be careful with the taro though. The recipe even gives the option to replace it with spinach leaves.

Apple Strudel from Austria
The original homeland of this recipe is not too far removed from the ancestral homes of some European Jews, some of its ingredients (pig lard or ostensibly kosher meat paired with dairy bread) made it inadvisable to eat. However, this did not mean that there weren’t strudel variants that could be eaten safely by Jews, especially when this recipe is easy to modify. In the link below, Leah Barzel of Kosher.com provides a great and tasty apple strudel recipe, one that you can use to warm those cold nights with something sweet and toasty to partake in.
