One of many dishes you can make with a packet of spices. (credit Waverley Kitchens)

The San Francisco Bay Area where we live has plenty of Indian restaurants and many of them have a buffet lunch. The food tastes great but just as with any cuisine; Indian food can be high in calories and fat. It can also be expensive.

But it doesn’t have be that way. There are many delicious Indian recipes that not only taste good but are good for you. Trouble is, most of us Westerners have no clue how to prepare Indian food.

Enter Waverley Kitchens a new website that promotes and sells products that make it extremely easy to whip up a great Indian dish.

The key is using the right blend of spice.  Instead of having to locate and learn to use a variety of spices, Waverley Kitchens packages them up for you in convenient packets that you mix with rice and fresh vegetables.  The best way to get started is to order their $9.99 Trial Pack that comes with spice for one curry, one sabji and one raita.

The website not only has information about the products but recipes and videos on how to prepare authentic cuisine using their spices.

And Waverley Kitchens is doing something you don’t often see on sites that sell products. It has also created a social network to encourage its customers or just site visitors to share tips, recipes and ideas with others. Using the Ning social networking platform, the Palo Alto, California-based company has created an environment where people can sign up for an account and express themselves.
