Traveling and tasting the recipes from each place is fascinating. And, although there's not always the opportunity to travel, we can prepare at home dishes from different cultures. The Indian cuisine has much diversity depending on the region, but in general the dishes have vegetables as main ingredients and spices; meat is scarce.

The ingredients used are rice, black lentils, peas and chickpeas, combined with vegetables. Among the main seasoning are chili, black mustard, cumin, turmeric, ginger and cilantro. By the way, Westerners when taste some seasoning in India, often confuse with curry, but what actually tried is called masala, a spice or seasoning made with turmeric, coriander, cumin, fennel, saffron, pepper, walnut nutmeg, poppy, mace, ginger and garlic. In India, curry is a special dish of meat.
