• Dietary Customization: The cookbook features dishes suitable for gluten-free, vegan, and high-protein diets, making it accessible to diverse dietary needs while maintaining authentic flavors.

• Traditional Cooking Techniques: Techniques such as slow cooking (dum), clay oven baking (tandoor), and tempering (tadka) are used to enhance taste, aroma, and nutritional value, preserving the essence of Indian culinary traditions.

• Seasonal and Local Ingredients: Dt. Krishi emphasizes the use of seasonal, locally available produce, keeping the recipes fresh, nutritious, and in harmony with nature’s cycle
