India: The Perfect Culinary Destination
Unlike the heavy rose and jasmine scents in the warm air,
the Indian aroma is an unforgettable one. The place is home to some of the best
multidimensional and eclectic cultural mix that has truly resulted in a variety
of delightful food traditions. There is no dish that can be termed as the
perfect symbolization of India itself as the country is full of regional
culinary traditions that together form the Indian food culture.
The variety of Indian food is enough to make even the most
colorful of the pictures seem bland in front of it. It is both fiery as well as
aromatic at the same time, especially due to the spices used during the
preparation of these gastronomical delights. In fact, the term ‘curry’ has today
assumed unimaginable proportions as a true Indian dish for most of the English
countries. These so called curries come in all forms and tastes all across
India depending upon the region you are visiting. It may be fiery red down
south a mellower orange up north while on the western side you may find it
leaning more towards the color of sunflowers. Be prepared for the chilly shock
as and when you taste the same curry in the north eastern side of India whose
chilies are said to be among the most potent ones of the world. Like the
palette of an artist, an Indian kitchen is full of as many as twenty five
spices used as per the directions and taste of the cook.
For all of you who love to sample vegetarian stuff and are a
perfect vegetarian, India is the place where you will get to sample more
vegetarian dishes you could find in whole Europe. The sweets too are something
that need to be tasted to be truly experienced for their culinary delight and
taste. Whether it’s a ‘kulfi’ or a ‘jalebi’ you will find your sweet tooth
asking for more of these gastronomical wares. In addition to this, you will
find an abundance of both the temperate and the tropical fruits here such as
the apricots, watermelons, mangoes, strawberries, pomegranates and many others
along with other western confectioneries.
To complete your food journey, do not forget to sample the ‘Paan’, a
betel leaf wrapped with spices such as cardamom and aniseed. 
Indian food journey is so vast and countless, that it can
hardly be kept shackled just into the kitchens. Available right on every street
corner is some irresistible snack houses that offer great spicy food at
inexpensive rates. However, caution needs to be taken by people sampling these
for the first time as it can turn even the most seasoned foodie’s stomach
upside down!!!! Given these delights, it is no wonder that Indian food is one
of the most of popular cuisines of the world. So, take your savory glands on
the most delightful gastronomical vacation they have ever been on !!!!
