World Of Culinary Wonder..

‘Sehat Ki Rasoi’ literally means kitchen of health..kitchen being that place that creates those mouth watering, platters that go straight into our bellies..and all those delicious things that go into our bellies can sometimes give us a bellyful of problems as well..if we donot watch out!

The pots and pans, the bottles, and ladles, all talk to us. They give us loads of information about what to eat, how to eat and how much to eat. The greens of vegetables, the reds and yellows of the fruits, the rough textures of the flour, the millet and the wholegrains and legumes, all give us a message. The sneezing reds of the chilli powder, the fragrance of the garam masala, the sweet and salt in the jars, the myriads aroma of the spice and nuts, all beckon us and teach us loads of lessons.

The kitchen teaches us to be well mannered with our ingredients, and choose and use them with caution. But do we pay heed? Or do we just with the flick of our wrists create those magical recipes, that are solely for our “taste” and “palate” and not suited to our temperament and bodies.

That is when the trouble starts. The delicious flavours created by us humans, can be a boon or a bane. The key is to understand what is best for us.

“Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go”
