what’s in the
cards for you?
When it comes to Indian cooking, most of us just cook with andaaz - Urdu for "to guess" or "estimate". That's because Indian food is meant to be cooked intuitively, from the heart, letting all your senses guide you. Here's the good news though — andaaz is something you can learn - with Tadka Tarot! Let us open your (inner) eyes to a culinary world that goes beyond pre-packaged spices, takeout menus, and the rigidity of recipes. With Tadka Tarot, you'll learn to combine flavours and textures to intuitively cook classic and contemporary Indian food, one card at a time.
pick a card, any card!
You can interpret the cards in many ways, but here’s one foolproof method
Step 1
Arbi
/अरबी/ taro
Pick a vegetable card
Read through the recipe and think about the final dish — what will it taste like? What are the textures it'll have?
Step 2
Haldi
/हल्दी/ turmeric
Adrak
/अदरक/ Ginger
Find the related cards
On each card, you'll see some highlighted words — when you see these, go find the related cards. For example, if you see a word highlighted in blue, you should look in the veggie deck. Similarly, if the word is in orange, look in the spice deck.
Step 3
Get cooking!
Once you've got all the cards you need, head into the kitchen. Read through all your cards again and think about how they'll work together. Then get cooking!
