Hospitality isn’t just about what’s on the table—it’s about who you share it with and why. In this heartfelt episode of Made To Share, chef and host Aarti Sequeira invites her friend Austin Rockwell to reflect on the power of hospitality, generosity, and compassion—all while transforming the humble tater tot into a vibrant Indian-American chaat.

Aarti’s legendary warmth shines as she prepares her Tater Tot Chaat: a comforting dish inspired by street snacks in India, but made especially for young people and college students who crave a little extra flavor and care. As she cooks, Aarti shares how simple ingredients like yogurt, chutneys, and crispy tots can become a comforting act of love—just as Austin’s ministry to college students turns everyday moments into opportunities for kindness and welcome.

Together, Aarti and Austin dig into what Christian hospitality really looks like, rooted in the life and generosity of Jesus. They laugh over kitchen mishaps, swap stories about gathering people in, and invite viewers to join the mission of Compassion International—caring for children and families around the world through acts of generosity and faith.

If you’re hungry for inspiration—from easy recipes to deeper reflections on hospitality and Christian compassion—this episode will leave you warmed, encouraged, and ready to share good things with the world.
