Regional cuisines from around the world have become commonplace in the western world thanks to globalization and the ability to travel far and wide. People want to bring back their favorite foods from their favorite destinations and these days they can. One of the most beloved world cuisines is Indian food with its heavily spiced, flavorful dishes that are exotic and exciting. But there are more facets to Indian food than just the standard curries we think about. India is a huge nation with one of the largest populations on the planet and a diverse history of occupation that has influenced both the culture and the cuisine. Indian food is equally diverse, and that's what makes it one of the most popular world cuisines on the planet.
The keystone of any Indian dish is the mix of flavorful spices known as a Masala. The traditionally spicy, hot blends of seasoning are known as Garam Masala. Every dish, whether it is the main attraction of the meal or merely a side dish features a blend of four or more spices that give the dish a distinctly Indian flavor. Traditional spices include dried chili peppers, black mustard seed, cardamom, cumin, turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon, although there are over 40 spices used in Indian cuisine. Spice blends tend to vary based on the specific region the cuisine comes from and what spices are grown there. Not all Indian dishes feature hot seasonings, but they all do feature heavily fragrant spices.
Spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander feature prominently in the remedies, and even modern science is beginning to declare these spices as medicinally beneficial. Some of the health benefits that come from the spices in Indian cuisine include tumor reduction, increased blood circulation, increased weight loss, greater glucose sensitivity which can decrease risk of type II diabetes, and antibacterial and antiviral properties which help reduce the length and severity of infections as well as boost the immune system to prevent them from occurring in the first place. So while those flavorful spices are what really add the kick to Indian cuisine, they are also super beneficial to your health and improve overall wellness.
