Healthy Indian Regional Sides and Classics
We take traditional Indian side dishes from across the country and give them a light, healthy makeover. Fresh, seasonal, and packed with flavour.
From Maharashtra, our Kakdichi Koshimbir is a refreshing mix of chopped cucumbers, roasted peanuts, and grated coconut. It's a crunchy, flavourful side dish that captures the essence of Maharashtrian cuisine.
This is Punjab's Kheera Raita, a cooling side dish made with grated cucumber and creamy curd. It's the perfect healthy accompaniment to any meal, especially during the summer.
Inspired by Rajasthan, our Kheera Pudina Chaas is a hydrating summer cooler. Made with cucumber, mint, and curd, this drink is excellent for gut health and keeping you refreshed.
A South Indian delicacy from Telangana, Dosakaya Pachadi is a tangy chutney made with yellow cucumber and spices. It's a cool, crunchy, and flavourful side that spices up any meal.
About A Taste of India, Made Healthy
We take traditional side dishes—like Maharashtra's Koshimbir or Telangana's Dosakaya Pachadi—and rework them for your modern health goals. By keeping the oil minimal and focusing on fresh, farm-sourced ingredients, we prove that clean eating does not mean sacrificing the bold flavours you grew up with.
Our motto, 'Main har jagah hoon!' (I am everywhere!), is how we approach every Indian kitchen staple. From the cooling crunch of a Punjabi Kheera Raita to the tangy zest of a South Indian Dosakaya Pachadi, we believe these traditional sides deserve a spot in your modern, healthy diet.
Why we focus on regional sides
Many restaurant versions of these classics are loaded with excess oil or heavy ingredients. We change that. Our kitchen in Vile Parle uses less than 5ml of oil for our preparations, ensuring you get the taste without the heaviness. We focus on hydration-rich ingredients like cucumber, which helps in digestion and keeps you cool during Mumbai's humid afternoons.
