Cooking: indian Cuisine
Indian Cuisine, as understood outside of India, is mostly a collection of about 10
popular dishes and does not do justice to the variety and diversity it offers. In reality,
Indian cuisine offers appetizers, curries, stews, rice dishes and desserts based on a
variety of vegetables and meats, spice levels from zero to extremely spicy, and a rich
variety of grains. Because more than half of the population happens to be vegetarian,
a large number of Indian dishes are vegan and many others are naturally gluten-free.
Indian cuisine is a great option to improve your health without compromising on taste!
Week 1 features Vegetable Samosa, Spinach and Paneer Curry (Palak Paneer) and
Fragrant Cumin (Jeera) Rice. Week 2 features Mixed Vegetable Pakora with Green
Cilantro Chutney, Home Style Chicken Curry and Coconut Rice. Week 3 features Naan
Bread, Butter Chicken (Chicken Tikka Masala) and Mango Lassi.
