Food in India

Indian Food
 
Indian food is as diverse as many ethnic and cultural groups in India. Tradition, ethnicity, geographic location, religion or individual preference defines a typical meal Thali (a large plate with small bowls dishes). A typical Indian meal consists of starch, lentils or beans, and vegetable. Non-vegetarians have meat in moderate quantity.For one, cuisine in India differs not only from region to region but even from one household to another. What is understood by curry may have over 500 variations across the country - the only common element being that it is a gravy with various condiments thrown in. Also, it would be misleading to suppose that every Indian dish is `hot'. The pungency peculiar to various Indian dishes is lent by chillies and if you ask your host to go slow on them, you are safe.
