Food and Culture
body
The Indian culinary repertoire reflects the cultural diversity of the country. The term “Indian food” denotes a mélange of flavours from different parts of the country and showcases centuries of cultural exchange with the far corners of the world. Here, on our portal, we are making a small effort of gradually building a treasure trove of information about the countless exquisite flavours of our country. It is an ongoing venture and over time we aim to capture as much as possible of the incredible culinary diversity of this land.
