Indian food is clearly renowned globally because of its awesomeness in terms of taste and in terms of variety of cuisines. The flavor and aroma of Indian food is conspicuous by its presence and you can find an Indian restaurant in almost any part of the world.

Indian cuisines are divided into four based on the four geographic regions and each of them has distinct characteristics. The four Indian cuisines are South, North, West and East Indian cuisines. We will take the time to briefly explain these four cuisines in this article.

It’s good to start with the North Indian cuisines. You see, the North of India is renowned for its extreme climate as well as surplus supply of vegetables as well as fruits. The food and culture in North India has been partially influenced by Central Asia. Nuts and dried food are used a lot and there is always a generous sprinkling of cream, yoghurt and ghee in the sweet North Indian dishes. The region is rich in vegetable and consequently there are plenty of vegetarian dishes in North India. While other regions of India consume rice a lot, this area doesn’t. Instead, the most popular meals here are kulchas, naans, bread, and parathas. Coriander, red chillies, garam masala and turmeric are the widely used spices here. If you are looking for some popular cuisines in North India, they include Tandoori Chicken, Punjabi Chole , Dal Makhani as well as Lassi Patial.

South India is the region which has a hot and even humid weather and with lots of the regions being coastal, there’s an abundance of rainfall during monsoons. This coupled with a fertile soil helps in producing abundant fruits and vegetables. Rice is the staple food in this region with bread and rothis being supplementary. Rasam and Sambhar are the two most popular soups that are mixed in rice and they form the integral part of any meal in South India. Highly hot and spicy are the foods in some of the Southern regions of India such as Andhra Pradesh. The much preferred spices in this area include mustard, chillies, tamarind and curry leaves. Payasam, dosa, idli and vada are some of the examples of the well-liked South Indian snacks. Dosa is the Indian version of a thin pancake and is made from rice and black lentils. It’s abundantly rich in proteins as well as carbohydrates and is mostly eaten as breakfast. The thicker version of the Indian pancake is Idli and it’s made out of a batter of rice as well as black lentils that are fermented. Chutney as well as sambhar are used to serve both dosa and even idli.

The East Indian Cuisines are somewhat influenced by the Chinese and Mongolians. The Eastern part of India is renowned for their sumptuous dishes as well as the number of dessert recipes here is very enormous. Many of the people in this region seem to prefer steaming and frying their food and the staple food here is rice. Milk and yoghurt are used in abundance while the spices used are similar to that used in South India. Some of the common vegetarian dishes in this part of India include Momos, Sandesh and even Thukpa.

The Western part of India has dry as well as hot weather and the diversity of the vegetables is inadequate; but that doesn’t seem to affect the lavishness and surplus of its cuisines. Rajasthani dishes are spicy while Gujurat is renowned for its delicious sweet dishes. The main food of this region devolves on the cuisine and, without doubt, bread/rothis and bread are eaten here in the same way.
