Vegetables are the crowning jewels of the Indian table. In a land where the cuisine originates from a sustainable agrarian perspective, it is very common for homes to grow some basic produce. Indeed, India is rooted in vegetarianism and the propensity towards balance, so vegetables must naturally serve as more than just a sidekick to the meat platter. I encourage you to find your favorite colors and flavors among vegetables, truly nature’s palette. I personally find ornamental farmers market vegetables a lot of fun to work with and have introduced this concept in my recipes.
