India is a country of diversity. People of different religions, communities and cultures live in the country on a geographical basis. Along with the lifestyle of everyone being different, there is also a difference in food. In India, not only the taste of various local foods is available from North to South, but the taste of foreign food is also easily available here. Be it Chinese or Italian food, Indians prepare special dishes by mixing foreign dishes with their own taste.
