 Many philosophers have regarded India as the world in a miniature form. Geographical diversities
have made the philosophers to think so. These differences have influences on the food culture of the country as well. Geographical divisions allow each part to exercise individual culture including food habit.For instance, north Indian recipes differ a lot from the south Indian recipes.India is the home of multiple races each having an independent culture. Indian cuisine is an amalgamation of diverse cultures. Different cultures have different rituals and cooking technique which can be found to be reflected in the Indian cuisine.

Several invaders have come to the country and reign for long periods. One time their rule faded. But they became part of the country and India had generously embraced their culture. Mughals introduced Mughlai recipes; Portuguese introduced various spices and the association with the British gave birth of Anglo-Indian food.
