Indian cuisine offers some of the most diverse and rich dishes in the world. Due to the diversity of cultures and climates in the country, each region offers a wide variety of dishes which are often native to that area. While there are regions that share a particular dish, there is usually a difference in the way each person prepares it – a local recipe, in a sense. However, one thing that binds these different regional cuisines together is the sophisticated use of herbs and spices to add layers of flavour to each dish.
