Indian gifts for food lovers

Want to gift someone but don’t know what to give? A birthday or anniversary gift is as lovely but pressurizing as well. You need to find new ways to gift a person, especially something related to what they really love. You can buy an Indian takeaway from Brisbane or try other things.

Here are some gifting ideas.

Book an evening out

There are many Indian restaurants in Brisbane where you can pre-book a table. A lover of food will always be excited to try new things, especially if they love Indian food. You could take them for dinner and then a long drive.

Cookbooks

If he/she loves experimenting with new dishes like making new dishes, using new ingredients, etc, then gift them a good cookbook. Try giving something from a different genre that they haven’t yet tried experimenting with. Indian cookbooks by Tarla dala, Sanjeev Kapoor, Madhur Jaffrey and many more can be gifted.

A box of spices

A food enthusiast will always welcome new kinds of gifts related to food in any form. The traditional box of spices that contain turmeric, powdered red chillies, asafetida powder, cumin seeds, dry mango powder, coriander powder, mustard seeds etc. the myriad textures, smell and colours are sure to enchant a person. Gift a spice rack that displays them all, will therefore, be much appreciated.

Coffee grinder

It is a modern replacement of mortar and pestle. A coffee grinder allows for group of spices to be pre-prepared and stock up. It is good for grinding larger quantities of dry spices in a finer way. Grinding spices is an age-old tradition in many homes. Freshly grinding spices as per need is the best way to create lovely food. Spice mixes like Tandoori Masala, Garam Masala and Sambar Masala can then be made in advance and stored for about a month at a time.

Kadhai or wok

This is a special kind of utensil from India that is similar to a wok. It is used in every Indian household. Meat and vegetables are cooked in this utensil in a stir-frying style. It is not too deep, has a wide top, round bottom so the heat distributes evenly. The kadhais are made of copper, aluminium, brass, stainless steel, etc.

Pressure cookers

The most sorted gift for those who love to cook in a fast manner. It works by building up to temperature and pressure inside its tightly sealed pot.

If nothing else works, Indian takeaway from Alexandra hills is there for your rescue.
