There are foods you eat almost every day and there are foods you don’t eat so often, but adore those all the more. Nudge past your diet charts and calorie counts – a gourmet adventure awaits you across India and its many regions – from mountain tops to sparkling coasts and green farmlands to red-hot desert. It’s a food sojourn where you will be simply spoilt for choice, and the melange of tastes, flavours, aromas and food varieties will be the best cure for a jaded palate. After all, some of these delectable desi cuisines have been around for centuries, which is enough proof that India is brimming over with exotic local foods you won’t find anywhere else. But just like human history, culinary cultures never stop evolving and what you get is a refreshing mix of popular trends and a rich heritage. That’s exactly why even the same dishes are prepared so differently all over the country. The way our food is cooked certainly bestows a distinct colour and character to a specific region and culinary history is made.

For a starter, we have picked up some choice dishes from every state – so that you may enjoy those whenever you are journeying cross-country and eating local. Write back to us when you come across more exotic dishes and we will be happy to share them with our readers. Bon appétit as your food journey begins and you travel through a hitherto ‘untasted’ India!
