Cooking new cuisines and immersing yourself in different cultures is a great way to learn more about yourself and your partner. However, many couples are nervous about venturing outside of their cooking comfort zone. Dishes like pastas and tacos may be easy enough but most people consider Indian to be too difficult and intimidating to try at home.
It makes sense. For one, the sheer number of unique spices needed to turn out an exceptional dish is overwhelming. Why buy all those spices for the limited number of times you'll use them?
Solving this dilemma and making Indian food accessible? Seattle-based company, Veena's Market.
Veena's Market is an online store sourcing fresh, organic Indian spices and ingredients for the home cook. Unlike supermarket kits and packages that lack in flavor and authenticity, Veena's gives you all the tools necessary to make the perfect meal at home...without the hefty price tag.
The website works like this:
- Browse the kits ($6.50 - $8.99) and choose your meal from a selection of curries like Vindaloo to Indian staples like Tandoori. The difficulty meter lets you know where to begin. Start off easy and progress to harder kits as you hone your skills.
- After you buy and receive your kit, which includes spices and rice, check the instruction guide for what you'll need to buy on your own. All the fresh ingredients are readily available at your local grocery store and include items like meat, eggs and onions.
- Gather your ingredients and your other half and get cooking!
- Enjoy your food and brag to your friends about your homemade Indian cuisine.
Once you see how easy ethnic cooking can be, you'll never want to stop experimenting. And with Veena's you don't need to worry about failure. The recipes are tested so you're guaranteed tried and true results every time.
