Why is the sodium level so high? The dal pack has 1220 milligrams of sodium per serving? It seems rather unethical for you to be marketing high sodium products to a group of people that should not be eating a daily amount of sodium in one sitting.
Is everything offered that salty? My biggest issue with the packets of Indian food at Trader Joe's is how much sodium they have, otherwise I would eat 2-3 of those every day. I have to keep track of my sodium intake or my face bloats.
Actually, that's pretty low for an Indian dish. Many of the dishes (especially south Indian) have way above this amount o sodium. It probably makes sense to take that much sodium when living in South India as many places are hot and you will end up sweating the sodium out anyway.
We don't alter our recipes at all, so the sodium amount is unfortunately what's in our products to begin with. We are actively working on a low-sodium option to be released in the Fall!
UK, Birmingham: most local street food places use a lot of salt, as do my neighbours, and most of the 'convenience' prepared masalas mentioned up screen.
Oddly enough, the salt levels seem a tad lower in the family restaurants (big evening meals).
I just registered at one of the last minute donor drives in San Francisco. The form is rather daunting, as they request your Social Security Number and your Driver's License number.
I'll be at Arastradero Preserve in the Palo Alto Hills tonight around 11PM with a telescope and some buddies. Exit off Page Mill from 280 and head west towards the hills. Take a RIGHT on Arastradero and drive up about a mile and take a right into the parking lot.
WE WILL HAVE A LIMITED SUPPLY OF SIMPLER TIMES BEER
I had a blast making cartoons as a kid with this program.
