Indian cooking

Masala-heavy food tradition

Indian cooking encompasses the culinary traditions of the Indian subcontinent, characterized by complex spice blends, layered flavors, and regional diversity.

Techniques like tempering spices in hot oil, slow-cooking curries, and baking in tandoor ovens are central.

The cuisine varies dramatically by region—from the creamy, meat-heavy dishes of the north to the coconut-based vegetarian fare of the south: I'm taking a class in Indian cooking.
