Taste of India connects food with place. It explores the tandoor traditions of the north, vegetarian diversity of Gujarat, coastal flavours of Goa and Kerala, rice-and-fermentation traditions of the south, sweets of the east, and the distinctive foods of Himalayan and North-Eastern regions.
The book is written especially for foreign tourists. Every section combines culinary background with practical questions: What should I try first? Is it vegetarian? How spicy might it be? What should I ask? How can I eat safely?
The aim is not to make the reader an expert chef. The aim is to make the next Indian menu feel exciting rather than confusing.
Chetan Singh Chauhan is the author of this travel-and-food guide, created to present Indian culinary diversity in an accessible format for readers from India and around the world.
The book combines destination awareness, food vocabulary and practical traveller guidance so that an international visitor can approach unfamiliar dishes with curiosity and confidence.
