Indian cuisine may not only differ from place to place but
household to household. But here too the theme of unity in
diversity is well applicable; Indian cuisine can be commonly
briefed as Rice and Curry. But the curry  may
have more than 500 variations across the country. The Indian
food is always hot and spicy. The commonly used spices
include chilli, turmeric, garlic, ginger, coriander leaves and
seeds, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, pepper etc. Indian culinary
tradition has its roots to the royal courts of Mughals.
The Mughlai
food is common in Delhi, Hyderabad and Lucknow. The 24-course
banquet, Wazwan
is famous in Kashmir. Seafood and coconut based food are very
prevalent in Goa, Kerala and West Bengal.
 In
India there are innumerable restaurants
which serve Continental, Chinese and Western
cuisine. Specialty cuisine such as Thai,
Spanish, French, South Asian, Mediterranean
etc. are catching up fairly well in the
metros.
