Indian Cusine

Do you want to taste something different, different than the rest of the world?

Then you came at the right place!

The food in India is different from the rest of the countries in the world. When we talk about spices, Indian food always strikes our mind because whether it is north or south, spices are always added to the Indian food. The spices are not only for the taste but for the beautiful texture of the food, its nutritional and medicinal value. 

In the earlier ages when it was harappans civilization, people only eat simple food which includes wheat (plain bread), rice, chickpeas and lentils. As the Mauryans, Guptas and Islamics conquered India during their rule time, the food also changed. 

As I described, before that India's culture is one of the oldest and richest culture in the world. It has 29 states and 7 union territories. India consist of 18 official languages near about 1600 minor indigenous languages.

Indian cuisine is well known for being one of the world's most:

• Unique

As the number of states increases the types of cuisine also varies. Every state and smaller regions has their own specialty. In the same way the preparing steps for each authentic dishes are different. In order to provide a common knowledge about different cuisine's, I divided India into four main states; that is:
