Indian Cuisine Primer

India is a culturally diverse and geographically-large nation 1 /3 the size of the United States. It is comprised of numerous states and regions, each with its own languages and native cuisines. Historically, the Indian people have been very health conscious and have made use of the many beneficial herbs and spices which grow in their country. These spices are used extensively in a wide variety of recipes, ranging from simple bean and rice dishes to elaborate dining of the highest caliber.

The layering of various spice combinations is an art, and many dishes are designed to complement one another. For example, the soothing yogurt of raita and cleanses the palate and provides contrast when coupled with spicy entrees. Each spice is used with purpose, enhancing and balancing ingredients to create the perfect meal.
