Hello! Thank you so much for visiting Zista ? I launched Zista in early 2020 as my way of sharing my beautiful Indian culture – a culture filled with beauty, colour & fun. It is definitely a unique experience and I wanted to create a space that allows me share this. And so Zista was born; bringing together consciously crafted fashion inspired by India’s timeless handcrafts & artisans. I hope you enjoy this rich and colourful experience.
One of the most important aspects to Indian culture is of course food!! No occasion, wedding, event, ritual or festival is ever complete without a decadent display of food. So today I am sharing one of my favourite dinner recipes – Aloo Gobi! You can pretty much though substitute the vegetables with any other preferred vegetables or protein. Be sure to give it a go and share your dishes on Instagram by tagging us @shopzista as I’d love to see them! Enjoy!
