This is not an absolute truth since Indians make the finest in sweets and deserts besides hot curry. Nevertheless Indian food is unique thanks to the pot pourri of cultures that integrated together since centuries.

recipe can be cooked in its own style using local ingredients
and flavors. The same simple recipe can be cooked

recipes dominate and in coastal regions
