Heritage Foundation – Their Facebook Initiative

I came across an excellent initative by the Heritage Foundation on Facebook a few days ago – a project labelled ‘Makai Tandoori Naan- straight from the Himalayas to your doorstep‘, is a step taken by them to promote the fine textured maize from the Northern areas of the country, and its own unique taste.
