There are two types of people in the world. One who eat to live, and the others who live to eat. If you’re a self-proclaimed foodie that falls into the latter category, we bet this Indian Food quiz is made just for you. But before that, here’s an ode to the great Indian cuisine.
Spicy curries, dessert that taste heavenly, tongue-tingling flavours, exotic ingredients – Indian cuisine can be both exciting & intimidating. What else can you expect from a cuisine of the country that’s as old as time! Known for its diversity that varies with every region, state, community, culture, Indian food is a vast constellation of culinary influences & traditions from all over Asia.
Whether it is the chaats that grace the narrow lanes of old Delhi or the humongous Gujarati thali, the world-famous Hyderabadi biryani, the dosa with Sambar in an Udupi restaurant in South India or the mishit doi from West Bengal – it is the culture, tradition & religion that play significant roles in influencing the cuisines of different regions of the country. An India tour package is not just about travelling and exploring the culture and places but largely about its cuisine that changes with every state, region & religion.
Distinctly characterised by the use of spices, grains, vegetables, pulses & fruits grown in different parts of the country, what also sets Indian cuisine apart from others is not just the taste & flavours, but the innumerable health benefits largely influenced by Ayurveda.
From cooking in the right type of oil to the right amount of spices, Indian cuisine is often described as an art – a balance of nutrition, flavours & taste, backed by science.
If your eyes light up at the mention of gulab jamun and if you choose Rajma Chawal over Ravioli, you’re a true blue Indian food lover. So why not test your knowledge with this quiz that’s also disguised as an India food guide, giving you some lesser-known details about the country’s culinary scene.
