Indian Cuisine:
Atithi Devo Bhava – Is an ancient Sanskrit saying.
Translated it means “Your guest is God”
And we all know that the best way to keep our guest happy is by providing him with good and tasty food.
From this conviction emerges India’s obsession with food – both in variety and quality.
India is home to a variety of cuisines.
Mention Indian food and the first thing that comes to one’s mind is “SPICES”

Spice in Indian food is actually flavor.
