Chip-n-Dip Indian Style

Friday October 27, 2006
Chip n DipThrough its history, conquest and colonisation meant India was subject to numerous different cultural influences. The beauty of the Indian way of life remains in the way it holds its own, yet effortlessly absorbs from these foreign cultures to create something unique and entirely Indian!

In food alone, the Mughal rule in India resulted in Mughlai cuisine, the Persians gave us Parsi fare, the Portuguese left behind what we know and love as Goan food and the product of the British Raj was the Anglo-Indian style of cooking.

And so it is with Chip and Dip! If you thought that was as far from Indian as it gets, think again. Treat yourself with these seriously yummy and very Indian tasting snacks when you're settling down to that long-awaited movie or game in front of the TV at home. Even better, wow friends with creative and out-of-the-ordinary munchies at your next get-together. You won't believe how simple some of these are!
