Add Some Spice

Traditional Indian cuisine is packed with fresh, bold flavors and a riot of hearty and aromatic spices. Although the tastes may be exotic, cooking Indian foods at home is surprisingly easy and healthy. Now, you can buy Indian spices and other ingredients at your local supermarket or online at Indian grocery stores or spice shops. This new accessibility is important. In the U.S. Asian Indians are much more likely to have diabetes than other Asians or even the general population. Better access to ingredients means it's easier than ever to prepare traditional, diabetes friendly dishes. And for those who are new to Indian cuisine, it's a wonderful time to dive into a new world of fragrance and color.
