India is a country of diversity, and what better way to explain the cauldron of cultures than food? Every state in the country has its unique platter that is associated with its geography, demography, culture and tradition.
But not many citizens are aware of the culinary diversity that rules the Indian kitchens from the north to the south, the west to the east, and beyond, to the North East. This food ignorance is one of the reasons that breeds cultural intolerance.
What if you can teach your child about this diversity from a tender age so that she/he grow up to be a responsible citizen with an inclusive mindset? A new book, 123 Idlis In A Sambar Sea, written by Ashwitha Jayakumar, can be that starting point in teaching inclusivity.
