The
Cooking
Of
India
 
  Indian Cuisine is a combination of subtle taste; flavours are as varied as the climate of India and as exotic as the people of India. Fragrant spices, pungent and warm spices from the four corners of the country are delicately blended in meticulous proportions to create the dishes we present to you. Each dish will have its own distinctive flavour and aroma which can not come from any curry powder but from spices which have to be separately prepared each day afresh for each individual dish. Mughalai dishes are traditional preparations which have come down in time from the Moghul Period of Indian History. The dishes are exotic and exclusively prepared from rich spices artfully blended to achieve a balanced harmony or tantalizing contrast. Indian menus are always diverse in color, flavour and taste; different at every meal.

On the culinary level, it was the East which conquered the West. And the universal popularity of curry is the delicious proof. It is a wrong notion that Indian food is 'hot'. All spices and herbs are used, not just for flavour and aroma, but for their digestive and nutritional values. Chilies are rich in Vitamin C;. Methi (Fenugreek) peps up liver, ginger and peppercorns aid digestion. Mint is cooling, while coriander is good for the kidneys.
