“Everyone in the whole world… was Indian in at least one past life”.
(Gregory David Roberts, “Shantaram”)

Welcome to the site

India is a country of many nationalities, tribes and peoples having the most complicated and sophisticated cooking techniques. Indian cuisine absorbed all the diversity of ancient traditions and customs of this mystic and magical country, there is no exact recipes, proportions, rules here. Indian cook creates a meal by guess-work, instinctively relying on thousand years’ experience of a number of past generations, that is hidden somewhere deep in underconsciousness, relying on his own view of life and harmony of mixing tastes, he puts his heart in a meal like artists or musicians building-up a work of art. Therefore, similar looked meals, with the same name, often taste differently, every time showing new features to gourmets. It is the reason why it is impossible to teach a foreigner to cook real Indian meals, because it is impossible to follow the logic of Indian master, as one cannot gain an insight into India’s character to a full degree.
