Growth of Indian cuisine at U.S. Restaurants

Prepared Foods, a prominent magazine that focuses on development trends in the food industry, recently discussed the growth of Indian food in restaurants in the U.S. The article mentions that the appearance of Indian cuisine on restaurant menus has increased 86% in the last 2 years and is projected to increase. Equally as important is that Indian cuisine is making an impact in the casual dining market as well (California Pizza Kitchen, Legal Sea Food and Cosi being some examples).

That is particularly exciting to us, here at Mr. Kooks, because we know the next step in that natural progression is for Indian cuisine and flavors to make its way into American homes. And that’s where our curries and prepared meals can help!

Chillies: Dried or Fresh?

How do you know when to use fresh or dried chillies?

• Fresh Chillies have a crunchy taste. They are great for fresh sauces that are prepared on the day of cooking.
• Dried Chillies have flavor that fits more stews and restaurant-style sauces, curries and marinades.

Just remember to start slow if you are not accustomed to eating spicy food. Enjoy!
