The impression of India before you came here and now
I am from from Mexico City and came to India with my husband, who is a pilot. We have been here for almost six happy years. Initially, I had the impression of a mystical country, which is greatly attached to its religions and culture. And once I came here, I can certainly say that these ancient cultures are worthy of being understood by everyone across the world. I also find that people are kind and willing to serve you always.
How does Indian cuisine and food compare to favourites back home?
I particularly enjoy a lot of the various condiments and styles that people use to prepare their extensive variety of dishes. So with respect to the stews of my country, they are relatively similar in terms of flavour, mixes and colours. I am trying to learn to make some dishes as well, for example, chicken biriyani, palak paneer, sambar, masala dosa, samosa, chapati, chicken tikka, rogan josh (lamb curry) and many others.
