New Delhi, Oct 12 (TIWN) Chef Sanjeev Kapoor says he has a dream of making Indian food the number one preferred cuisine in the world; but it's not only a dream, he's also working towards it.

Today’s generation is fascinated with Western food and they are unaware about what grows locally in our own land being far more nutritious. Having said that, I also see a trend of people moving back to traditional food which is great. Nutritional benefits of Indian food have always been high, and give you complete nutrition that one needs.

For example, besan – it is loaded with multiple nutrients and fibre. People are realising that traditional food can help us obtain wholesome nutrition, which in return makes us stronger from within and builds our immune system. I recommend one should include green leafy vegetables, dals, fruit and salads in their daily meals. Look for unpolished dals as they are untouched, and their nutritional value is higher.
