Everything revolves around food!
Food is so important in our day-to-day life, like we need to think of it even when we are not eating. Like our festivals, celebrations, from birth to death, everything has specific food or menu. Initially, I felt it’s only in India, but later I found that in whole world each culture / location, traditionally have specified menu. I might not be able to talk about world food culture; I would like to talk about specific Indian food tradition. Our tradition is always combined with science when it comes to food for specified festivals. It depends on the season, location, body needs. Like in January, we have Makar Sankranti when we have preparations made from sesame seeds, peanuts, coconut, jaggery, etc. everything are stuff having oil & warmth giving food. Around March end or April start, we have Gudi Padwa (hindu new year), when we have food which is cooling, since mercury is rising like raw mango’s panha, different chutneys & pickles...
