Updated: Oct 13, 2020


India is an incredibly diverse country that stirs you up and takes you with or leaves you out and push you away. There are no shades in between. From the first moment it attracted me with its honest and hearty people, whose charming nature touches your soul.

This diversity and kindness of people is also reflected in the subcontinent's cuisine. Each region in India is characterized by its own unique kitchen and numerous dishes. The Garam Masala chicken is at home in northern India, the Bengali cuisine is especially known for its desserts, Goa for the hot pork with Vindalho and Kerala for its beef. What Indian food community has are spices, curries, flat breads, soups and rice that you will find on any plate. Add a salty or sweet Lassi according to taste ....
