| Food in India |
| Spices are a vital part of food preparation and are used to enhance the flavor of a dish. Correct use and blending of the aromatic spices is crucial to the proper preparation of Indian cuisine. Even oil is an important part of cooking, whether it's mustard oil in the north or coconut oil in the south, each section of the country has it's preferences. Vegetables vary according to the different regions and the season. The vegetables are prepared according to the main dish or food that's to be served with them. It is not common for Indians to keep leftover food, if it is bought or made in one day it is consumed that same day. Some foods compliment each other, with the Tamil Nadu's rice and lentils being an example. These foods taste best when they are consumed with deep fried vegetables, whereas in Punjab, Sarson ka saag compliments the Makke ki Roti (maize bread).
