Indian food is spicy comparably
Indian cuisine is famous
all over the world for its variety, mouthwatering tastes and aroma. The key to
Indian cooking understands the blend of spices and condiments in each dish.
Indian cuisine relies heavily on instinct and less so on exact measurements and
procedures. Spices are the backbone of
Indian cooking. India is known the world over as "Home of Spices". Each
spice has a specific place and importance in the Indian kitchen, whether used
alone or as a combination of different spices. Some spices are used for their
taste, whereas others are used for their aroma. The quantities that are added
for flavour are balanced out to achieve the desires flavour. It is also equally
important in Indian cuisine about the herbs that lend a distinct flavour and
fragrance to the dish.

Tortilla, which is equivalent to Indian roti
We all have heard that a lot, haven't we? The tortilla is the
Mexican bread which is similar looking to our regular Indian Rotis. But they're
far apart from each other. The tortilla is made using maize flour and is an
unleavened flatbread. It is used to wrap tacos, burritos, etc. On the other
hand, the good ol' Indian roti's are made using wheat flour. We tear roti's and
enjoy it with sabzi as small bites to fill up our tummies.

Combination of fish and milk
Most mothers say avoid drinking milk just after you have
fish; it might result in acne on your skin. Well, this is a common myth in
Indian households. Scientifically, there is no proof that these two are a toxic
or unhealthy combination for your body or the skin. There are so many delicious
recipes that have this combination, and if you're a fish lover, we say go on
and try them!
