Abstract: As Mark Twain once said, “In religion all other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire”. Food is an excellent manifestation of who we are as people. It defines our identities, customs, traditions. It reflects who we are, the flavors of cooking that have been passed down through generations. Food is culture and India can be proud of its illustrious culinary heritage.
