Indian food, Internationally!

"Indian food over the decades has travelled far and wide, and is available at most international destinations."

 Indian cuisine is so popular that many and western television shows have references to it, showing it as part of their popular culture. No longer is curry made fun of as food that will give one a bad tummy. Instead, top food shows have had references to Indian dishes, what with a breakfast staple like upma winning votes at the finale of one of them or a deconstructed paneer gravy making people go wow in another. If anything, this is a time where Indian food is gaining momentum, with many international chefs trying to reinvent popular dishes and give them a makeover to cater to a wider audience of gourmands.

Indian spices have seen an increased demand by world markets. While earlier it was just curry powder or a few ready-to-use spice mixes, whole Indian spices have now not just made their way to the spice markets but also into the kitchens of fine-dining restaurants that don't serve just Indian cuisine. And in recent times, you won't be surprised, to find signature Indian spice marts. Spices like ajwain, dalchini, cloves, black cardamom, star anise, dhania and tamarind seeds are among the more popular. Indian spices have captured the popular imagination by featuring in films like Mistress Of Spices and Today's Special, The Hundred foot Journey, etc. and a whole host of television shows like Outsourced and The Big Bang Theory for example.
