Dear dentidle,
India is called a country of UNITY IN DIVERSTY.......In different parts of India, people will speak different languages.......I think there are more than 50 languages.....They follow different traditions, customs, culture and they eat different Food in different parts of the country...........If on goes to the other part of the country he may not able to adjust with the available or favourite food of that area.......So there are different types of mouth watering dishes in India.......But I prefer Fish curry and White Rice...........
