Namaste!

I'm looking into Traditional diet of India, as I am an Ayurvedic

practitioner and am interested in incorporating it into my practise. I've

been trying to find information on what sorts of foods were eaten in India

in Vedic times - or in pre-European times in general.

 

Specifically I'm interested in what was eaten before Columbus 'discovered'

the New World and brought Tomatoes, Chilis, Potatoes, Beans etc... to the

rest of the world. It is very difficult to find a variety of Indian recipes

without these specific foods, they seem to have taken over Indian cuisine!!

So I'm on a mission to discover what the diet was like BEFORE these foods

came onto the scene in India (eg. pre-1500s). I would like examples of the

vegetables etc were commonly eaten and recipes would also be GREAT!!

 

Can anyone help me? Researching this subject on the internet has proven

difficult.

Thanks in advance,
