Indian cuisine has opened my eyes to a different world of flavor. Whether you’re cooking for meat lovers or vegetarians, Northern or Southern Indians, there is a cuisine for everyone.

Throughout the 4 part series I’ve focused on recipes I learned while attending the Real Foods of India cooking class at the Milestone Culinary Arts Center.
