Diversity of the Indian Cuisine
Food & Beverage Business Review|August - September 2022
Indian cuisine is an epitome of diversity. Each of the country's region has its own cuisine. Indians, thus have ample choice to divulge in different cuisines within the country. The specialty and attraction of Indian cuisine, as compared to that of food from other countries, is its intoxicating aromas, fresh blend of spices and rich ingredients. The cuisine, besides being flavour some and appetizing is also considered to have several health benefits as it uses spices like turmeric, ajwain, ginger, garlic, cardamom, and green chilies, which are beneficial for health. Ashok Malkani examines the cuisines of different regions within the country, how Indian cuisine differs from that of other nations and various other issues related to Indian cuisine.
Diversity of the Indian Cuisine

Indian cuisine is intricate. Though Indian restaurants present it as part of a uniform, nationalized cuisine, in reality the food is as regionally specific and diverse as the people. But though the cuisines are region specific there are certain common threads which make it a uniform, nationalized cuisine. All regional cuisines depend on curry. But the global concept that Indian dishes are all curries is not true. Specialty of this cuisine is the variety of spices which makes each dish exotic, delicious and different from the rest of the cuisines of the world.

Soumitra Pahari, General Manager of Mercure KCP, succinctly puts the speciality of Indian cuisine thus: “When we recall Indian cuisine, we recall the different varieties of flavours, aromas and authenticity of a culture. Here in India our cuisine depict the culture of each and every state. When anyone from any place, city or country visits any place in India the first and the foremost thing the tourist does is to try the authentic cuisine of the state they visit, to know more about the culture and the traditional of a place. Each and every state in India has its own culture, taste, authenticity and most importantly their traditional way of cooking their special items. Each dish is cooked in its own special way. That’s what makes an Indian Cuisine special!”

Shiv Parvesh, Executive Chef, Indore Marriott Hotel, avers, “Indian cuisine is one of the most diverse and flavourful cuisine in the world. With its rich history and influences from different cultures, Indian food has something to offer everyone. Whether you are a fan of spice or you prefer something mild, from rich, creamy curries to aromatic rice dishes, there’s something for everyone.”

Healthy Food - An Attempt to Meet Diners' Desire

Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015, was about "Good Health and Well-being". This could be said to be an eye-opener and the source of making people aware of maintaining their health, which became more pronounced due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Consuming healthy food, since then, has become a significant - if not imperative - element in lives of almost everyone. And this healthy and nutritious food is also playing a significant role in the success of restaurants. Diners are now becoming more particular about the food they consume, making the F&B outlets offer a diverse and appealing menu of healthy food options. Ashok Malkani tries to evaluate how the restaurants and chefs are meeting this desire for nutritious food by customers and what are some of the healthy food options.
