Indian Cuisine is considered to be one of the three great distinctive cuisines of the world, the other two being the Chinese and the French.

Indian cuisine is characterized by its ingenious use of many spices and herbs growing across the Indian subcontinent and also for the widespread practice of vegetarianism across its society. Considered by some to be one of the world's most diverse cuisines, each family of this cuisine is distinguished by a wide variety of dishes and cooking techniques. As a consequence, Indian cuisine varies from region to region.

However, Indian cookery is generally divided into two main categories: North Indian cuisine and South Indian cuisine. North Indian Cuisine is characterized by a strong use of milky products, flat breads ("roti" and "naan") and cooking with a "tandoor" (a large and cylindrical coal-fired oven). The presence of rice as staple food, the use of lentils and mild spices (as opposed to the strong, pungent spices used by North Indian cuisine) is distinctive of the South Indian cuisine.
