[Food-india] What do you hope people get out of your blog posts? 
[EC] I have seen many people telling that Indian food is very complex, time consuming and involves a lot of spices. Through this blog, I wanted to present the variety in Indian recipes that is actually simple to prepare and not so spicy too. As the name reflects, it has more than 600 Indian vegetarian recipes and except for a few, all the other recipes can be easily tried by a fresher in cooking. So, you can look forward to healthy, new, simple and delicious Indian delicacies all through the blog.

[Food-india] How did you learn cooking?
[EC] Initially I learnt cooking from my mom. Then my mother-in-law helped me adapt to their style of cooking and I learnt a few traditional recipes from her that I had never tried earlier. Even now, my mother keeps giving me ideas for new recipes and also contributes some recipes for the blog. Apart from it, the internet and recipe books helped me to try new dishes. The food blogging community is huge and has exposed me to hundreds of recipes from different parts of India.

[Food-india] Who are some of your favorite food blogs and websites?
[EC] I adore Asha at foodieshope. She is a wonderful person who encourages and motivates new bloggers and of course is a super blogger too.

[Food-india] What is your favorite Indian meal?
[EC] I love paneer dishes and dosas. We belong to Tamilnadu. Since most of our friends like south Indian food, I cook it for them. For family, I try to cook north Indian cuisine as that is not cooked often in their kitchen. I love Mysore rava dosa (with the red chutney). I am not good at making it so I enjoy it at a popular south Indian food joint nearby. 

[Food-india] What are other types foods you like?
[EC] I love only Indian vegetarian food, especially north Indian cuisine.I am very fussy about food and the list of things I don't like is much longer than the ones I like.
