India is a melting pot of different cultures as it incorporates various regional dishes, cooking styles, locally available unique spices, grains, vegetables, and fruits. Indian cuisine provides a balance of taste and health.
With the landscape, dialect, culture, and food habits changing every few kilometres, the country offers a plethora of food varying in cooking styles across different regions. This aspect reflects in forms of food available at homes, streets, or fine dining venues in India.
The 'Dekho Apna Desh' series captured this diversity to reverberate 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat.'
