Delicious and Wholesome Indian Foods

It’s the weekend and you’re craving for something healthier but with a little flavor, perhaps a dab of some spiciness. Maybe you’ll grab an Indian takeout or whip up a taco salad to spice up a night with a fragrant curry, simmering dal, colorful tandoori, spicy korma... uh-oh the aromatic, delicious foods of India!

Why do we love spicy foods so much? Looking beyond taste, however, how does Indian food rate in healthiness? The Indian diet is rich in beans, vegetables, whole grains and spices. Studies show that people avoid vegetables when they don't taste good. But because Indian foods are full of flavor, it's a delicious way to eat them.

If you serve Indian food, the traditional way your best bet on the basis of this tasting on the wines would be an Alsace Pinot Gris, or a fruity rosé like Pink Elephant (good for converting beer-drinking friends to the virtues of drinking wine with spicy food), champagne or, for a less indulgent occasion, Cava. In fact given the success of both rosé and sparkling wine a sparkling rosé might well be the answer we’re all looking for.


I think no matter what drink to choose with a delicious Indian food, the secret to make a great meal is to enjoy what you eat and drink.
