THE INDIAN CUISINE
India’s cuisine is as diverse as its region. Its history can be traced back thousands of years. Food patterns in India can be linked to a region’s environment and religious practices. The Middle Eastern influence for instance brought meat dishes, exotic spices and nuts to the north Indian cuisine where it had the great influence.
