The Indian food space is one of the most popular and enriched cuisine encompassed with diverse ingredients. Food is not only an essential part of living here; it is a holistic amalgamation of cultural spices. Having a rich history of civilization, Indian food cuisine has evolved over time. The distinct geographical cultures of Asetu-himachalam (from Adam’s bridge to the Himalayas) have blended the wide assortment of cooking methods in the daily life of Indian people.

Indian culture has accepted everything that has come to it and adopted it accordingly. From ancient invaders to the colonial period, every foreign food recipe has been accepted by the people of India. The immigration and melange of ethnicities have contributed to the inventions and modifications of so many foods through many millennia. The journey started from ancient literature, where food was classified into the categories of Saatvic (pure), Raajsic (bitter and salty), and Taamsic (heavy and acidic). Each was believed to have a compelling effect on the body and mind.

Later, this ancient Indian food was influenced by Persians, Greeks, Mongolians, ...
... and even Chinese cultures. The Islamic conquest of medieval India shifted the pendulum of vegetarian food culture to its opposite side. However, by the poetic justice, food that changed the traditions was also changed by the traditions. One of the prominent examples of this is Biryani. Originally been made with the meat pieces, Indian vegetarian chefs transformed it to invent a new dish – Veg Biryani. The food recipe that was invented in Persia has now become the most sought-after food on the menu cards in India.

Another evident example is of potato – one of the key ingredients in Indian food, is a Portuguese gift to Indian people, which has become a completely Indian product with the course of time. In addition to that, the diverse weather ranging from deep tropical regions to alpine has made accessible a variety of readily available ingredients. According to the availability of these ingredients, the food plate changes every 100 miles in the country.
