The Lovely food of INDIA.

Indian food: The best dishes in each and every region:

When ordering "Indian" food in places such as the US or the UK, garlic naan, biryani, butter chicken and Dal are found everywhere.
However, when you travel to India, don't expect anything close to  standard menu. In this vast country, there are 28 states and 8 union territories- each with its own topography and traditions.
Head 100 miles in any direction and the religion, language and appetizing, customs will be completely different.
In northern destinations, you might find flatbread and tandoori-grilled kebabs, while southern Indians dine on sweet coconut fish curries and rice.
Across the country, the diversity spans more than 9 religions, all of which influence the relationship with food. For example, Hindus eschew beef, Muslims avoid pork and Jain's practice strict vegetarianism.

Indian cuisine consists of a variety of food of regional and traditional cuisines native to the Indian subcontinent. Given the diversity in soil, climate, culture, ethnic groups, and occupations, these cuisines vary substantially and use locally available spices(Indian masales), herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Indian food is also heavily influenced by religion, in particular Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, etc cultural choices and traditions. Centuries of Islamic rule, particularly by the Mughals, also introduced dishes like samosa and pilaf.
Historical events such as Inventions, trade relations, and colonialism have played a role in introducing certain foods to this country. The Colombian discovery of the New World brought a number of new vegetables and fruit to India. A number of these such as the potato, tomatoes, chillies, peanuts, and Guava have become staples in different regions of India. Indian cuisine has shaped the history of international relations for different countries; the spice trade relations  between India and Europe was the primary catalyst for Europe's Age of Discovery. Spices were exported from India and traded around Europe and Asia.
