Ganges ( Dining / Indian ). Indian cuisine is a combination of subtle tastes. Flavours are as varied as the climate of India and as exotic as the people in India. Fragment spices, pungent and warm spices, from the four corners of the country are delicately blended in meticulous proportions to create the dishes we present to you. Each dish will have its own distinctive flavour and aroma which cannot come from any curry powder but from spices which have to be separately prepared each day afresh for each natural dish. The blending and preparation of spices is a centuries old craft and indispensable to Indian cuisine. truroganges.co.uk
