Punjab's cooking heritage is as abundant as its productive lands. From the heat of Garam Masala to the kick of Red Chili Powder every spice includes deepness to Punjabi meals. Whether it's the earthiness of Cumin or the sweet taste of Cinnamon Punjab's food is a delicious party of practice plus preference.

By the way, there is a mistake in one of your tag. Hope you can fix it soon.
