Cuisine

Indian food is conquering the world. And why not? India's cuisine is as diverse as its culture, languages, regions and climate. Yes it is spicy, but not always hot. India is probably the one land that boasts of as wide a variety of vegetarian cuisine as non-vegetarian cuisine. And as expected every region of India has its own unique dish as well as subtle variations to popular dishes.

Just as there is no single style of Indian cooking, there is no one national dish. Styles of cooking and commonly used ingredients differ not only from region to region, but from one household to another. In many parts of the country, thali (veg and non-veg) meals are the norm. These large platters contain upto a dozen dishes in individual servings, consisting of meat, chicken, vegetables with raita and roti or naan.
