When the weather turns hot think about exotic eating. This would be in the form of east Indian cuisine.There's nothing like the taste of it from sweet chutneys to fiery curries. Indian food is a break from ordinary food during these hot, sultry days.
Indian cooking is distinguishable from all other cuisines by its' large use of spices. You can fund everything from fenugreek to curry leaves to cardamon. These were the flavors that seduced early travelers on the Silk Route. These give lift and oomph to such traditional dishes as masala or tikki. Vegetables also play a huge part in the subcontinent's diet. Indians eat a lot of spinach and tomatoes along with chick peas. Chicken and lamb are the meats of choice. Eating beef is a sacrilege to the Hindus and most Indians are vegetarians
There are also sweet sin the Indian diet. These are not like Western sweets and are made mostly out of fried semolina and rose water. Certain spices again like cinnamon and cardamon are added.Indian children also love fresh fruits as well for a treat.
Cool down with the food of the East Indies. The spices will not only add a lift but a touch of exoticism to a hot summer's meal.
