Follow These 9 Indian Food Bloggers To Learn Some Delicious Lesser Known Cuisines

Indian food is one of the most evolved food cultures in the world, and every region has its cuisine. Here are 9 Indian food bloggers who write about some lesser known Indian cuisines.

Indians have always been die-hard foodies, and India has been home to hundreds of regional and traditional cuisines. We also love sharing our recipes with others and trying new ones ourselves. But a lot of these cuisines are dying out due to the existence of prominent Indian and International cuisines in the Indian market.

Nonetheless, there are a few who want to preserve their culture and their cuisines and have taken to the digital space to tell the world about their own unique foods and culture.

Sindhi

A microbiology graduate from Mumbai, Alka Keswani started Sindhi Rasoi ten years ago as she felt that Sindhi cuisine was dying out in the flood of other Indian and International cuisines. She shares authentic and traditional Sindhi recipes trying to connect people over food.
