Gluten Free Indian Cuisine
Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 15 Gluten Free Indian Cuisine Indian food is one of my favorite ethnic dishes, so I’m so glad that East Indian cuisine is mostly naturally gluten free! Besides naan bread, and some samosas - which are the East Indian version of a burrito - most other dishes do not have gluten. Today, I’ll give you information on popular Indian dishes that typically do not contain gluten that I’ve eaten in the past. As always, check with the chef or cook at the restaurant you’re eating at to make sure your food is safe! Be Aware of Gluten in Lentils Because , I try to avoid lentils as much as possible. However, there are several dishes, including the crisp wafer Papadam, that are made from lentils. The one time I was sick from Indian food was cross-contamination of the lentils in the dish.
