A Taste of India

Many people tend to forget how unique the food is in each region of India. I've grown up in a traditional Gujarati household, which according to Wikipedia: "Is primarily a vegetarian cuisine, despite having an extensive coastline for sea food, due influence of Jain vegetarianism and traditional Hinduism.[1][2] The typical Gujarati Thali consists of Roti (a flat bread made from wheat flour, and called rotli in Gujarati), daal or kadhi, rice, and sabzi/shaak (a dish made up of different combinations of vegetables and spices, which may be stir fried, spicy or sweet)."

Seeing that I had daal with basmati rice and curried potatoes for lunch, some of that sounds right. :)

Below is a great map to give you the full Taste of India. Enjoy!
