How does Soulful Indian Cooking Win the World?

However, the perfect blend of overlapping flavors sets Indian cooking par excellence. An average Indian dish has at least seven ingredients, and most of them don’t overlap the flavors. Garam masala (a combination of several spices), cayenne, etc., are combined with stuff with no chemical overlapping. Still, every ingredient houses an exclusive component when added to the final preparation. Some of the dishes of Indian cooking include nearly two hundred of the estimated three hundred and eighty ingredients known so far!

The square meal

The Indian food theory involves Indian cooking that focuses on providing six different flavors in its dishes - sweet, sour, astringent, bitter, spicy, and salty. Indian cuisine is also exciting as it offers tongue-tingling tangs and exotic presentations. Indian cooking combines all techniques from various cuisines and adds its wonderful spices to please even the most demanding foodies.

He also learned to cook Dal and Keema with college friends from India.
