The cuisine of India
The cuisine of India is based not only on religious beliefs but also on more than 3000 years of knowledge about the healing properties of food, herbs and spices.

North Indian cuisine is the best known Indian cuisine in the Western world. Characteristic features are a high use of dairy products, such as yogurt or ghee, and a relatively high proportion of meat dishes. Typical are dishes from the tandoor, a clay oven, in which naan, chapati as well as the well-known tandoori chicken are prepared. Another specialty are samosas, aromatic filled dumplings. Most dishes are rather restrainedly spicy and have a saucy consistency that comes from long cooking times.

Rice is one of the most important staple foods in South India. It is also used in the form of flour for the preparation of idli or dosa. Among the best-known dishes are sambar, a spicy lentil dish, and various biryanis (rice stews). Also native to South India, or more precisely to Tamil cuisine, are the curries. South Indian cuisine is characteristically spicy due to a high use of chiles, pepper, as well as garlic and ginger. In addition, many dishes are also spiced with curry leaves and tamarind.
