ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week, we’re heading back to Southern India with a replay of one of my favorite conversations—just as I’m about to land in India for the very first time (!!).
In this episode, I’m joined by Sahana, a passionate travel blogger and food enthusiast from India. Sahana shares her deep connection to Indian cuisine, discussing how her family's love for food has shaped her appreciation for both home-cooked meals and the rich, diverse flavors of Indian street food.
We dive into why some travelers find Indian cuisine overwhelming—covering spice levels, unique ingredients like cardamom and cinnamon, and cultural aspects such as eating with hands.
Sahana gives us essential tips for finding authentic Indian food and how to avoid the dreaded Delhi belly!
We also talk about traditional meals, how festivals like Ganesha Chaturthi are celebrated with elaborate dishes, and the intricate process of making beloved South Indian foods like dosa and chutney.
If you're curious about what to eat in India, especially in Southern India, or looking for travel tips for India, this episode will satisfy your appetite for knowledge on Indian food and culture!
