Add record number to item?

Hi…
I have the following list… any ideas how I can display the record number / index next to the item

like

  1. Milk
  2. Ceral

ion-list show-delete=“true”>
ion-item ng-repeat=“grocery in groceries” item=“grocery”>
ion-delete-button class=“ion-minus-circled” ng-click=“onItemDelete(grocery)”>
{{ grocery }}
/ion-item>
/ion-list>

This can be done with {{$index}}

Thanks… how can I start the index at 1?

What about {{ $index + 1 }} ?

thanks!..
