About Indian Cuisine

 India is a vast country  where each state has its’ own language, cuisine and culture and this makes Indian cuisine so diverse. Indian cuisine is one of the most popular ‘ethnic’ foods in the Western world. Our food is based on the principle of wellness and sustainability. Here are a few interesting facts about Indian cooking :

  • Indian food is generally very nourishing as it uses a lot of plant based ingredients. Traditional Indian cooking calls for fresh ingredients and minimal preservatives. The spices used in the recipes not just add flavor to any dish, they have numerous health benefits too. But these must be used in right proportions to get the maximum health benefits. Turmeric, coriander, hot peppers, cumin seeds are just a few of the remarkably healthy spices.
  • We don’t use ‘Curry Powder‘ in all the dishes. In fact there is no such spice as ‘Curry Powder’. We make our own spice blends every time we are making a curry. Different regions of India have their own traditional spice blends which are used in regional cuisines.
  • Indian cuisine offers dozens of plant based recipes, so it is  naturally vegan friendly. We cook and eat vegan and vegetarian almost everyday without even stressing about it.
  • Contrary to the popular belief, Indian cooking is not messy or hard to assemble. All you need is the knowledge of the right technique as with any other cuisine.
  • All the spices used in everyday Indian cooking are easily available in local grocery stores or Indian stores.
