The never-ending tradition of "zaiqedar" Indian Cuisine

India is a land of different civilizations and different cultures. The country is also among the oldest civilizations of the world. With so much diversity and antiquity, it is natural that Indians have developed a great variety of culinary tastes.

It is also important to note that India is a land of a variety of herbs, spices and aromatic plants. Many of these are available only in India and no where else in the world. As a result, the food here gets a unique taste that is unparalleled across the globe. The enticing flavor of Indian food is irresistible for any food-loving person, no matter which part of the world he belongs to.

It is truly an epicurean delight to smell the aromas emanating out of a well-cooked Indian cuisine. To taste the same and have all to eat is something they would heartily love to do. Several international chains of restaurants have made their name an unforgettable brand just by serving quality Indian foods. Their popularity in the US, UK, and several other European countries shows how much people there like the food cooked in Indian style.

One can see how desperately people search recipes for Mughlai, Punjabi, Gujarati, or South Indian foods. India offers delicacies for veg and non-veg lovers both, though vegetable food recipes are more in number. This is because Indians have traditionally been vegetarian due to religious or some other reasons. However, the current trend shows that the demand for non-veg recipes are rising, especially for chicken and goat meat.

The purpose of this blog is to bring recipes for some of the most common veg and non-veg delicacies of the country, and let people across the world relish the taste of India.
