'Atithi Devo Bhava' or 'the guest is truly your god' is an ancient Sanskrit saying. True to the saying, the Indians play great hosts for their guests by their culinary expertise.
India is a land of varied cuisine styles. Indian cuisine has flourished from ancient times as the chefs mixed their ideas with the best of spices and ingredients available in the country to turn out exotic dishes for the erstwhile Maharajahs of India. There are no standard rules and regulations for dishing out Indian recipes. Spices and condiments are used so that the food is turned into any of the six tastes known to the human senses.
Most Indians are vegetarians who have been influenced by the thoughts of the great Mahatama, Buddha, Mahavir and other notable vegetarians. Ayurveda, the ancient science of India has also played its part in defining Indian cuisine from a health point of view. India is a land of diverse culture and traditions and hence its cuisine is also diverse.
