Glossary of Food
Assembled here is a glossary of some foods like, herbs and spices, dry fruits and nuts, vegetables and fruits, that are commonly used in Indian cooking. The translation is done from English to Hindi. It is not possible to list each and every ingredient from all over the world. I have made an effort to list a few common ones. I will keep on adding more information with time. Hope you find this helpful.
