Indian cuisine is characterized by the use of various
spices, herbs and other vegetables, and sometimes fruits grown
in India and also for the widespread practice of
vegetarianism in Indian society. Each family of Indian cuisine
includes a wide assortment of dishes and cooking techniques. As
a consequence, it varies from region to region, reflecting the
varied demographics of the ethnically-diverse Indian
subcontinent.Religious beliefs have played an influential role in the evolution of West Indian cuisine with the introduction of meat dishes, while East Indian cuisine is largely influenced by Hindu beliefs, and only consists of vegetarian dishes. However, cuisine across India also evolved as a result of the subcontinent's large-scale cultural interactions with Mongols and Britain making it a unique blend of various cuisines. The spice trade between India and Europe is often cited as the main catalyst for Europe's Age of Discovery. The colonial period introduced European cooking styles to India, adding to the flexibility and diversity of Indian cuisine. Indian cuisine has influenced cuisines across the world, especially those from Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. |
