Ethnic Indian food is more popular for its wide variety of vegetarian dishes. Dal is a must almost all over the country. Fish, mutton and chicken are popular non-vegetarian dishes of which too there is a considerable variety. Another integral part of an Indian meal is the wide variety of pickles.

In the north, much meat is eaten and the emphasis is more on spices and less on curry heat. In the north more grains and breads are eaten and less rice. In the South, more rice is eaten and the curries tend to be hotter. Another peculiarity of Southern vegetarian food is that it has to be eaten by hand and not by fork and spoons ! 

Popular spices include saffron, an expensive flavoring produced from flowers. Turmeric also has a coloring property and acts as a preservative. Chillies are ground, dried or added whole to give that hot taste to curries. They come in red and green varieties but the green ones are the hottest. Ginger is supposed to be good for digestion. Coriander is added to many masalas so as to cool the body. Cardamom is used in many sweet dishes and in meat preparations. Other popular spices are nutmeg, cinnamon, poppy seeds, caraway seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek, mace, garlic and cloves.
