India's rich biodiversity features prominently in the food on our plates. Our dishes use local and seasonal ingredients that define the indigenous cuisines, cultures, and traditions of our country.
In September 2025, we held our first My Food Story contest, inviting readers to share recipes that carry the flavours of home, memories of festivals, childhood and family traditions. Since then, we have held multiple contests like this, this and this. The response has been overwhelming.

All the recipes shared with us are available on our interactive dashboard here.

Take a peek at some of the recipes featured in Down To Earth magazine.
