Spices are a vital part of food preparation and are used to enhance the flavor of a dish. Correct use and blending of the aromatic spices is crucial to the proper preparation of Indian cuisine.
Vegetables vary according to the different regions and the season.
The vegetables are prepared according to the main dish or food that's to be served with them. It is not common for Indians to keep leftover food, if it is bought or made in one day it is consumed that same day. Some foods compliment each other, with the Tamil Nadu's rice and lentils being an example. AsianInfo.org - All Rights Reserved.
