Five Star Gift Ideas

What a fun and unique interest for a young person! Here are some gift ideas for your granddaughter who loves Indian food:

1. Indian cookbook: Encourage her interest in Indian cuisine by giving her a cookbook filled with authentic Indian recipes. A great option is "Made in India: Cooked in Britain: Recipes from an Indian Family Kitchen" by Meera Sodha.

2. Spices and herbs kit: Consider assembling a kit of Indian spices and herbs including cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and turmeric. This will let your granddaughter try out all sorts of new flavor combinations in her cooking.

3. Indian cooking class: Sign her up for a cooking class at a local cooking school or community center. Many offer classes focused on Indian cuisine where she can learn new techniques and tips from an expert.

4. Indian dinner at a restaurant: Take her out for a special birthday dinner at an authentic Indian restaurant. Allow her to sample all sorts of dishes and encourage her to ask the servers and chefs questions about the flavors and cooking styles.

5. Cookware or serving dishes: Consider gifting her with traditional Indian cookware or serving dishes such as a tandoor oven or a set of decorative thali plates. Not only will she be able to use these in her cooking, but they'll also serve as a cool new decoration in her kitchen.

Hope these ideas give you some inspiration for a great birthday gift for your granddaughter who loves Indian food!

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
