The craving for soul-burning hot food calls for Mexican cuisine, soothing and flavour-rich food calls for Italian delicacies, and delicious fast food calls for American food. But, Indian cuisine takes more than one flavour to define itself. From the simplicity of South Indian cuisine to the North Indian cuisine's spiciness, Indian cuisine gives room to a wide variety of flavours. Indian food is a popular choice of fusion cuisine for people who look for a combination of flavours in their meal. If you're still wondering what makes Indian cuisine a popular choice for fusion cuisine, this post will clear your mind.

Indian cuisine mainly consisted of honey, vegetables, fruits, and a selected type of grains in the earliest recorded history. With the following centuries, the definition of Indian cuisine changed multiple times before its current definition. It sees a lasting influence of the cultures that ruled and traded with the native land. It is not just one, but eight thousand years of history is reflected in the flavours of the Indian cuisine we know of today.

Majorly, British and Portuguese rulers affected the countries' regional cuisines during their rule in the 19th and 20th century. In the following years, globalization changed the game for many Indian dishes and added a hint of Western culture into it. For example, the streets of Indian food stalls now serve dishes like Chocolate Pav Bhaji and Pav Bhaji Pizza which is the strikingly delicious combination of the western cultures with traditional Indian cuisine.

In addition to this, Indian cuisine is rich with different Indian states' colours and their cooking styles. Currently, India is the largest democracy in the world. Rightly so, the taste of the Indian cuisine contains the history, story, and a hint of the lifestyle of the cultures preparing it.

Take, for example, the Gujarati Indian cuisine. The famous snacks in the cuisine include dishes like Dhokla, Jalebi, Farsan and Thepla, which show their community's love for easy to make sweet recipes. Similarly, the spicy North Indian dishes like Paneer Tikka Masala, which is served with an Indian flatbread like Roti or Naan, reflects the glamorously hot lifestyle of the North Indians. We can rightly say that from the famous Bengali sweets to the nutritious South Indian food, Indian cuisine absorbs the flavours of many cultures before becoming one amazingly hearty unit.

Fusion cuisine made in Indian style requires a strong foundation of the right utensils to be cooked. Because the right type of utensil adds the food's correct flavour and makes the recipe richer in taste, acknowledging this lesser-known fact, Ellementry allows exploring the fusion of Indian flavours to its customers.
