As the diners enjoy their meals they listen to music or have a conversation. The whole meal is served at once from appetizer to dessert and this tradition continues in many Indian families. Some foods are meant to be eaten with the combinations. Breads are always dipped in or scooped with curries or chutneys or dals or raitas. Rice is another item that is combined with these dishes and a drizzle of ghee.
Indian cooking is considered as spicy, hot, complex and elaborate.
As you cook you will realize the delectable combinations of flavors that can be a pleasure.
