Best Indian Food

Throughout history India has been invaded and occupied by other cultures and each has left its own mark on Indian cuisine. Some of the predominant influences have been:
1. Aryan - which focused on the mind-, body-enhancing properties of foods;
2. Persian and Arab - which led to the Mughal style of cooking with rich, thick gravies and the use of dry fruits like cashews and almonds in dishes;
#3. British - which gave India its love of tea and put the European twist into some dishes. Anglo-Indian cuisine was the delicious result;
4. Portuguese – which left its mark on parts of India in the form of dishes like the world-renowned Vindaloo and Xacuti.
As far as food is concerned, India can very roughly be divided into four regions. Each region has several states in it and each state its own unique food. Here’s a brief look at the cuisines of North, South, East and West India. One must of course, always remember that no such description can entirely cover the huge variety of Indian food. The true discovery of it, can take years of patient and very pleasurable gastronomic experimentation.
