The character of cuisine in India is essentially regional. Not only dishes, but flavors, colors, methods of cooking, down to even the style of cutting the vegetables prior to be cooked changes as often as the landscape does. Spices are heavily used in Indian cooking. Simultaneously, there exists die hard vegetarians and non – vegetarian eaters. Even there are Hindu Brahmins who follow a strict dietary code and do not even add onions, ginger and garlic while cooking. Rice and bread made of wheat flour are common through out India. Among drinks, tea enjoys heavy popularity, while coffee is mostly popular in South India. Nimbu pani (lemonade), lassi, and coconut milk are also popular.
