Sharing a meal in an Indian household is one of the best ways to connect to the culture. The food is prepared with love from family recipes passed down through the generations. A simple meal of rice and two or three vegetable preparations, eaten off the traditional banana leaf in South India is healthy and delicious and easily prepared back home in the western kitchen (well, maybe without the banana leaf!) On our trip to South India in February we will enjoy several home-cooked meals with local families.
