In this article, for all the Indian food enthusiasts, we bring you 9 free online Indian cooking lessons for beginners.

Food, being just a daily routine for many, is also a form of identity for millions around the world, that displays the taste of one’s region. For centuries, delicacies from different parts of the world have been the means of, ‘literally, giving the taste of one’s culture and tradition to another. With all the cultures around the world portraying their image of customs in the form of food, many would agree with the ever-lasting impression that an Indian dish usually makes on people. Be it the spiciness in their curries or the blissful taste of their sweets; it is an irrefutable fact that one defaults to consider the Indian cuisine while listing the best delicacies around the world.

Though it is a cultural identity for over a billion people around the world, many regard Indian cuisine to be a single type of a meal that defaults to a curry, soup made of lentils, roti, and rice. However, it comes as a surprise to many when they learn that each state in India has its own set of dishes that greatly vary from one another in terms of both taste and variety. The spices that are found in every region roots to the history of every dish that is made in that province. Since it is difficult to describe the dishes that are made in all the 29 states in India, from a macroscopic level, Indian cuisines can be broadly divided into two types: The North Indian food and the South Indian food. This broad classification can easily group many states of the sub-continent in the two categories, and that’s how they are more are less represented in many places.

The aroma from the curries made from savory spices along with the earthy flavors of the dal with steamed rice usually gives a mouthwatering feel to anyone who has experienced the Indian food. It might be, for this reason, many around the world show immense interest in learning the cooking style of the Indian food.

This growing trend has been decoded by many popular cooks and chefs around the world to create websites and make YouTube videos that give the maximum amount of data in a short period of time.

Rather, there are recipes that one learns from these blogs and videos.
