Handi, Kadhai & Tawa with Aravind Saraswat

Until recently—and this is most unfortunate-Indian food was synonymous with either the ‘rich’ food of the Maharajas or the ‘chilli—hot’ fare served in the run-of-the-mill restaurant. Neither is truly representative of the real Indian cuisine—one with thousands of years of refinement behind it. There is no denying that Indian cuisine can be elaborate and Indian hospitality overwhelming. However, as in other parts of the world, food habits here are changing.
