Food is an intrinsic part of Indian culture; across the country, what binds different faiths and communities is their love for food. While local and regional delicacies are popular, food is also intersectional, meaning, people living across the length and breadth of the country often enjoy trying out recipes and delicacies from other states and corners.
Such is its popularity, there is even a global recognition of the umbrella term ‘Indian cuisine’, which includes all of its intricacies and spices.
According to Taste Atlas Awards, India ranks fifth on the list of best cuisines in the world for 2022; the ranking is based on audience votes for ingredients, dishes and beverages. While the top spot has been secured by Italy, Greece is a close second, followed by Spain and Japan.
