1. We live in a land where traditions still dominate. In spite of the many changes, the hidden treasures of our culinary heritage are being rediscovered. It has taken us a lot of research to fish out the recipes, which were perfected by our ancestors. Indian cookery is indeed something, which should popularize the world over.

2. In India we have the world’s most recently formed and still rising mountains - the Himalayas, as well as the world’s most ancient rocks in the Peninsula. We also have the world’s wettest place at Chirapunji and the hottest desert at Thar, stretches of permanent snows of the Himalayas and Karakoram and the tropical rain forests of Kerala.

3. Interestingly the variety exists not only in the physical and cultural aspects of the country but also in the cuisine. India has such a wide variety of cuisines that if you begin to taste a new dish everyday it will take quite a few years before you will have exhausted the entire repertoire of Indian food.

4. Indian food is more popular for its wide variety of dishes that depend on the seasonal availability. Dal is a must almost all over the country. Fish, mutton and chicken are the more popular non-vegetarian dishes of which too there is a considerable variety. A meal is generally accompanied by curds, either in the form of raita or eaten plain. This is mostly to combat the other spicy dishes as well as an excellent aid to digestion. It is our endeavor to familiarise food lovers the world over with the variety that has been long forgotten.
