History behind Indian Food!

Indian cuisine is actually one of most the complex cooking styles in the world. Because of its complexity but magnificence, Indian cooking acts as an art. The cooking is extremely difficult to master in a short period of time. Many Indians, preferably women started making Indian food before they are even ten years old. Now, 20 to 40 years later they can easily prepare the food easily without a recipe or a cookbook. Indian cooking is also a type of ethical food where one does not have to use a cookbook to make a dish. For hundreds of years, when women used to cook, clean and take care of their families while their husbands were at work, they had no time to keep on following recipes through a cookbook. Therefore they memorized what their moms taught them or what they had learned from others. Then they would teach their children, most likely their daughters what they had learnt. This practice of cooking was passed down from generation to generation and is the reason why no Indian dish has the same taste as another.
