Not only this, the Portuguese also introduced us to refined sugar. Before that? Fruits and

honey were used as sweeteners in Indian food.

Very little is known about the food and eating habits of the

earliest Indian civilization, Indus Valley Civilization, because the ancient language has not been

deciphered yet.

Mithais are an important part of Indian cuisine and celebrations. Payasam, one of the favourite

sweet dishes of South India, is a must-serve at important ceremonies like weddings. According to South Indian

tradition, a wedding is not over until Payasam is served.

According to Indian Food Theory, our food has six different flavours: sweet,

salty, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy.
