“The one thing which cannot be compared with anything in the world is our traditional Indian food” 
-by Principal Parbin Parida

when we listen to the name of Indian food we all know the first and foremost thing that comes to mind spicy, rich, flavourful, and diverse are terms that are frequently used to describe “Indian Food”. Indian dishes consist of a variety of traditional cuisines native to The Indian subcontinent, for it is different in variety and taste. This is made up of a wide array of regional cuisines throughout various parts of India. And yes, that’s why India does have the best food in the world. Actually, Indian food has 6 different flavours: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, astringent, and spicy. A normal Indian diet has all.

The aroma of Indian food is also unique because of various different cooking styles like slow cooking and boiling the spices instead of frying them as done in Kashmiri cuisine. Though nowadays people avoid it most of the traditional Indian food was made in a lot of oil /& ghee which though made it heavy and fatty but provides the food with another dimension. Lastly, but importantly the many of the ingredients used in most Indian foods or accompany them like curd have very little usage in other parts of the world providing its uniqueness. I’m surprised by the variety of dishes, the combination of foods that I never thought could be mixed, the combination of spicy, salty, and sweet flavours. For me, many details make Indian food so different, original, tasty, and healthy :) And I love Indian Food. Special in India, it is said that there is only one way to please anyone who goes through the stomach. From the looks of Indian food, it seems that no one can be tasted without it. Due to different cultures, there is a lot of food here and everyone has their own specialities, which makes them more special and there is not only one dish or one type of dish which is particularly called Indian. Indian food has been put in basically categorized into six categories in terms of the region- north-east Indian, north-Indian, south-Indian, west-Indian, east-Indian, and unsorted. many types of spices, vegetables, and fruits are not available in any place other than India and this is why India is famous for spices, taste, and agriculture or farming. Indians worship food as just like a god and so giving up or wasting food is an insult to it. Doing this is actually right and should be done everywhere, because of these spices, vegetables, fruits, and this yummy food are given to us by nature, and nature is the adorable creation of god so we should respect our this much good food.  

“From Chole-Bhature of Delhi to the Dosa of South, from the Rosogolla of Bengal to Dhokla of Gujrat, from Lassi of Punjab to Biriyani of Hyderabad, from Vada pav of Mumbai to Puchka of Kolkata, from Dal-Baati Churma of Rajasthan to Litti-Choka of Bihar and these are not just food, but the emotions of people”                                            -by Priti

A total of 194 unique ingredients were identified in the recipes, which are divided into 15 categories: spices, seeds, herbs, meats, etc. But—rather unsurprisingly the spices and their process of pairing and combination create the best taste of Indian cuisine. The most common food in India is rice-dal, fish-curry, and rice, and the only way to enjoy Indian food by using our hands our fingers this is also meant to give respect to the food that is giving us the energy. Most Indians like this food and it is available throughout India. While many Western cuisine ingredients combine and share "flavour compounds" the minute timbres that indicate something like types of sweetness sourness or spiciness. Indian food's signature is that it combines ingredients that don't share these qualities at all.
