✅ Benefits of Desi Food

1. Rich in Spices with Medicinal Properties

Ingredients like turmeric, ginger, garlic, cumin, and cardamom have anti-inflammatory, digestive, and immune-boosting benefits.

Traditional desi meals often include a mix of carbs (rice/roti), proteins (lentils, legumes, meat), fats (ghee/oil), and fiber (vegetables).

3. Fermented and Probiotic Foods

Items like curd (dahi) and pickles promote gut health.

4. Home-Cooked and Fresh

Many desi dishes are made from scratch using fresh ingredients, which means fewer preservatives and additives.
