Indian food is perhaps the country's most famous export, but the reality is far more complex than the generic "curry." Food in India is lifestyle, medicine, and love. The cuisine changes every few hundred kilometers—from the meat-heavy, Mughal-inspired dishes of the North (Rogan Josh, Biryani) to the coconut and spice-laden vegetarian fare of the South (Dosa, Sambar), and the seafood delights of the coastal East and West. Eating with one’s hands is a traditional practice that connects the eater to the food, emphasizing mindfulness.
