Sounds Italian? It is a sattvic sandwich.
India's 21st century began with the Discovery of the World. Manmohanomics opened up the economy and borders, middle-class Indians grew rich and travelled overseas, exploring the tables of Italy and Japan, France and America, and Thailand. Their taste buds brought home memories of alien, pleasing flavors and fragrances and India witnessed a global food boom.
Oriental and continental food penetrated even the small towns and cities, and pasta no longer rhymed with nashta and a nacho wasn't a TV show.
Then came organic eating, eating local and conscience consumption. More recently a new food trend is obsessing Indians. Sattvic cuisine.
It is strictly vegetarian; in extreme cases even vegan.
Its soul is Ayurveda.
Many recipes are derived from Vedic practices.
What is a sattvic diet? It is pure vegetarian. It must include seasonal fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, whole grain, pulses, sprouts, dried nuts, seeds, honey, fresh herbs, milk and dairy-free of animal enzymes.
