Masala Magic invites you on a journey to sample the varied, healthy and delicious cuisine of the Indian Subcontinent. As the traditional recipes of South Asia become globalized, the world is re-discovering a whole continent of spices, flavors, culinary techniques and textures that have inspired chefs and diners from Turkey to Indonesia over the centuries.
At the very heart of South Asian cooking tradition is the simple yet profound idea that what goes into the body must be pure, healthy and revitalizing. No act takes us closer to the natural world than the daily ritual of nourishing ourselves through food. The ancient recipes of South Asia have achieved a remarkable balance between taste, health and healing.
The herbs and spices used in South Asian cooking have been identified and selected for their varied health benefits over a period of two thousand years. Staples such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, ginger, garlic, mustard, fenugreek, cardamom, clove, cinnamon, black pepper and a host of other spices certainly contribute to the uniquely delicious taste of South Asian cuisine. But even more remarkably, these herbs and spices give South Asian cuisine unmatched natural healing and health protective benefits.
At Masala Magic we are constantly looking for creative ways to adapt and recombine the traditional cuisine of South Asia to meet the healthy, high quality dining experience sought by sophisticated contemporary diners. We make every effort to retain the taste and nurturing value of traditional recipes while getting away from the high calories that usually come packaged with delicious dining. Fortunately, the cuisine of South Asia is already low in saturated fats, and high in fiber, vegetable proteins and anti-oxidants. Our culinary creations aim to satisfy the fine diner's craving for the varied and tantalizing tastes of South Asia, minus the guilt of high fat and caloric indulgence.
