“My Nani (grandmother) cooks healthy and delicious Indian food for us whenever we visit. (I am Indian-American.) She inspires me to try different flavors, spices, and herbs in the food I eat,” says Emma. “Many of the ingredients found in Indian cooking are very healthy for our bodies, such as garlic, ginger, turmeric, and cumin. Also, Indian cooking uses a lot of vegetables that are good for you, such as tomatoes, onions, and peppers. I don’t like a lot of spice in my food, but I do like a lot of flavor!! My dish is a chicken masala wrap, paired with a refreshing raita and fresh mango slices.”
