India

Perhaps best known for its spices and curries, India has a lot more to offer the palate. Many Indian dishes carry a combination of spices called Garam Masala, chosen as they complement each other, intensifying the flavour of any meal they're added to. Tandoori meats are a favourite Indian dish cooked on a very hot oven and served with yogurt. However in India, cows are sacred, so if you head to your local Indian restaurant, don't plan on ordering beef! Lamb and chicken tend to be used, instead. Side dishes include salads featuring citrus fruits, tomato and coriander and breads are preferred over rice.
