Indian Cooking has evolved over thousands of years and has basically absorbed the
cooking influences of various dynasties and empires, yet maintaining its distinctive flavor
and style.
The cooking style is more about the intricate art of blending spices and cooking them with
either meat or vegetables. Though the predominant population consume a vegetarian based
diet, meat is still used to a large extent and is a delicacy.
Traditional Indian food uses fresh ingredients and involves making the dishes from scratch
to enjoy the freshness of the spices and the nice aroma.
A regular meal in an Indian cuisine provides a balanced diet. Most of the cuisine is either
rice or wheat based providing an abundant supply of carbohydrates, gravy and soup being
cooked with lentils which provide a rich source of proteins, the vegetables serving the
fibers, minerals and vitamins, milk and buttermilk providing the fat.
Some of the Indian spices like turmeric, ginger, garlic, etc have medicinal and healing
properties too in addition to spicying up the food and your palate.
