Spices in Indian cooking all have their medicinal purposes. And our food is cooked that way. The medicinal aspect of food is totally ignored in the West. In the Middle Ages, people used to know more about it, especially about herbs and such, but now that knowledge seems to have gotten lost. People don't know why they are eating anything.
Indian cooking has many health benefits.
It is so easy to be a vegetarian with Indian cuisine. The diet is balanced both nutritionally and in terms of flavor. There is also a lack of sugar and sweets of all kinds in Indian cuisine. Indians generally end their meals with fresh fruit, and maybe a little yogurt. All rights reserved.
