Indian Cooking with Spice Of India - January 2019

Elaine Kanwar from the Basel restaurant Spice of India came in to talk about Indian Cuisine. Elaine has been living in Basel for six years, and during that time, the number of restaurants serving Indian cuisine has grown a lot. The growth in the number of vendors has been a boon to fans of Indian food, as the competition has ensured an increase in the quality and variety of offerings. Indian cuisine is very diverse and regional - not just Chicken Tikka Masala - driven by the staple ingredients local to the origins of the food. If you're a fan of dishes representative of Northern India, there are at least 10 restaurants that cater to this subcuisine, offering such typical dishes as Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh, or, for vegetarians, Palak or Butter Paneer.  Find Elaine at her restaurant featuring the best of Northern AND Southern Indian cuisine.
