Hello Readers!

I am elated to start this food blog which I intended to for the longest time. So finally I am ready to share my insights and inputs to what can bring out the innovative chef in you!

Unleash the creative side in you and craft innovative yet ridiculously easy dishes.

This blog will guide you to the most popular dishes in South Asian Cooking.

So where is South Asia on the World Map?

South Asia or Southern Asia or Indian Subcontinent is the southern region of the Asian continent, which comprises the sub-Himalayan countries and, for some authorities, also includes the adjoining countries to the west and the east. Topographically, it is dominated by the Indian Plate, which rises above sea level as the Indian subcontinent south of the Himalayas and the Hindu Kush. South Asia is bounded on the south by the Indian Ocean and on land (clockwise, from west) by West Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia.Different sources vary in their statements of which nations are part of the region. For example, according to the United Nations geographical region classification,[2] Southern Asia comprises the countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Further to this, there is an interesting read about South Asian cuisine which I found quite fascinating:

Essentially, this blog will largely explore the Indian sub-continent cuisine and its counter parts. There may be alternative additions and discussions of other cuisines as we go. We will talk about spices and herbs and how to use them most efficiently in your cooking. Hopefully, together we will be able to figure out "how much is more".

Happy Cooking!
