Indian cuisine: Greetings from the Land of Spices
CARDAMOM, carom seeds, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, fenugreek seeds, fennel, nigella, saffron, haldi, curry leaves, tamarind, dill and kokam are only a few of the spices typically found in India’s rich culinary palette. Since India’s cuisine is primarily vegetarian, Indians have traditionally used a lot of spices to make their food richer in flavour and in colour, Rajiva Misra, the Indian ambassador explained, while his family chef, Janardana Prasad, was preparing a dish which boasts a variety of spices: tandoori chicken.

The British ambassador to Slovakia explains that the recipe comes from the Elan Valley in central Wales and that since her mother’s family comes from Scotland and her father is from the far south of England, “for childhood holidays we sometimes went to Wales as a half-way point for all the relatives to get together”.
