How often should you eat Indian food?
One of our popular readers asked, “How often do you eat Indian food?” The short answer: as often as you love it! Indian cuisine offers endless variety—spicy curries, gentle dal, crisp dosas, and sweet desserts. If you’re worried about balance, try rotating dishes: a rich biryani one night, a light vegetable stew the next, and a fresh salad with tropical fruits after that.
When you’re planning your weekly menu, ask yourself what flavors you crave. Do you want the heat of a fiery vindaloo or the comfort of a buttery paneer tikka? Mix and match to keep your taste buds excited without overloading on oil or spice.
Practical tip: pair heavy curries with fiber‑rich sides like brown rice, quinoa, or whole‑grain roti. Adding a simple cucumber raita can cool down heat and boost digestion. This balance lets you enjoy Indian food every day without feeling weighed down.
Looking for a quick Indian dinner? Try a one‑pot chickpea masala. Saute onions, garlic, and ginger, add canned tomatoes, spices, and chickpeas, and let it simmer. Serve with steamed rice or a few naan pieces. You’ll have a nutritious, satisfying meal in under 30 minutes.
Udupi locals love their seafood, too. A tangy fish curry made with coconut milk, tamarind, and curry leaves is a weekend favorite. Grab fresh catch from the harbor, and you’ll taste the sea in every bite. Pair it with red rice for a truly authentic experience.
Don’t forget sweet treats. Mysore pak, jaggery halwa, or a bowl of fresh mango pulp can end any meal on a high note. These desserts are often simple—just a few ingredients, a bit of patience, and they’re ready to share.
If you’re interested in cooking classes, many Udupi chefs run weekend workshops. You’ll learn knife skills, spice blending, and the secrets behind perfect dosa batter. Signing up not only sharpens your skills but also connects you with fellow food lovers.

How often do you eat Indian food?
Indian food and I share a delicious love affair that's almost as spicy as my wife's sense of humor! We rendezvous about once a week, with every bite a symphony of flavors that makes my taste buds dance the Bhangra. However, my belly might argue it's a touch too often, especially after a particularly fiery Vindaloo! But hey, who can resist the siren call of aromatic curry, fluffy naan, and delectable samosas? So, it's safe to say, Indian food and I, we're in a committed relationship, with a bit of a bloated belly as a souvenir.
