A complete list of ingredients and their medicinal properties would fill volumes! Combining ingredients to correct specific conditions is an ancient Indian art. My goal in this book is to offer delicious dishes to balance the whole person in body, mind and spirit. A good experiment for the beginner is to ask yourself how you feel after you’ve eaten a well-prepared Indian meal, or better still, how do you feel after you’ve made Indian vegetarian food an important part of your diet! I hope that your experience with this book will yield very satisfying results.
