It’s no secret that the holidays this year will be different than those prior. Many of us are looking for creative ways to add some oomph or uniqueness to make this year special. You can achieve this by spicing things up. Trying new cuisine and mixing in cultural elements can make any dinner an exciting memory. Win over your picky eaters with these selections for incorporating Indian fusion this holiday season.
Bread
Try Naan or roti instead of traditional rolls this year. Naan and roti are moister and heartier than conventional dinner rolls. They are also full of micro-nutrients that you need throughout the day.
