Did you know...

• Indian food includes perhaps the most dazzling array of fresh vegetables and fruit cooked in a multitude of ways that help retain their freshness and nutrients
• Traditional Indian cooking almost always uses fresh ingredients and involves making dishes from scratch. This means less preservatives and healthier food.
• Indian cooking uses spices like turmeric, ginger, garlic, green chillies...all of which have medicinal and healing properties.
• A traditional Indian meal includes carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fibre...all the elements you need to make a balanced meal.
• Indian dishes don't have to be hot and spicy. Spices are used in Indian cooking but are not what makes food spicy. Chillies (which add the heat to a dish) are a matter of preference and can be easily adjusted or omitted according to taste.
