regional Indian cuisine

Mango pickles mean something different in every Indian home. The mango changes, the spices change, even the memories change. Travel across India through 17 jars that show how each region turns the same fruit into a flavour of its own.

From idli and pongal to khichdi and dhokla, these dishes have travelled through centuries yet remain staples on Indian plates.

With a deep commitment to preserving Rajasthan's food traditions, Dipali Khandelwal is documenting and sharing lost recipes, giving these flavours new life while connecting generations through food.

Long before fridges and fizzy drinks, Indian kitchens had a remedy for the summer heat — simple, cooling foods that nourished, refreshed, and healed from within.
